At the University of Greifswald, you can choose from eleven subjects, which can be combined freely with each other: German, English, Geography, History, Art and Design, Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Polish, Protestant Religion and Russian.
Teacher training programmes usually take ten semesters and conclude with the ‘1. Staatsexamen’ (1st State Examination). During studies, you already gather practical experience. The practical elements are spread out over the entire course of your studies and will help you to stay in touch with everyday school life. Further information on the study contents can be found here.
The University of Greifswald offers three teacher training degree courses: teaching at primary schools, at ‘Gymnasium’ (secondary schools up until year 12) and ‘Regionale Schule’ (secondary schools up until year 10). For the secondary teacher training programmes, you select 2 out of 10 subjects. If you choose the primary school teaching programme, you will study 4 subjects in total.
The secondary school teaching programmes consist of two subjects with an equal amount of scope. A third subject of the same weight can be selected as well, and optionally a subsidiary subject. The primary school teaching programme includes German, Mathematics and two further subjects.
Teacher training programmes at the University of Greifswald combine theory and practice and contain many components that will prepare you for your future work in the classroom. In research-based learning, students are taught, for example, new teaching concepts geared towards the future in the digitalised world.
Some subjects in the ‘Gymnasium’ teaching programme are subject to local admission restrictions (nc). It is therefore necessary to apply to the University of Greifswald. The same goes for the primary school teaching programme.
All ‘Regionale Schule’ teaching programmes have no admission restrictions, i.e. anyone can enrol during the enrolment period. A selection of subjects for the ‘Gymnasium’ teaching programme is equally without restrictions.
The University of Greifswald offers international cooperation and international teacher training programmes, which are being continually developed.
