At the University of Greifswald, you can choose from eleven subjects, which can be freely combined with each other: German, English, Geography, History, Art and Design, Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Polish, Evangelical Studies and Russian.
Teacher training programmes usually take ten semesters and conclude with the 1st state examination. You will already gather practical experiences during your studies. 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 programmes: teaching at primary schools, grammar schools and secondary schools. For the grammar and secondary school teaching programmes, you select 2 out of 10 subjects. If you choose the primary school teaching programme, you will study 4 subjects in total.
The grammar and secondary school teaching programmes consist of two subjects with the same scope. A third subject of the same weight can be selected as well, and optionally a smaller-scope subsubject. The primary school teaching programme includes German, Mathematics and two more subjects.
Teacher training programmes at the University of Greifswald combine theory and practice and contain many components that will prepare you to work in the classroom. In research-based learning, students are taught, among other things, new teaching concepts geared towards the future in the digitalised world.
Some subjects in the grammar school teaching programme are subject to local admission (nc) restrictions. It is therefore necessary to apply to the University of Greifswald. The same goes for the primary school teaching programme.
All secondary school teaching programmes are without admission restrictions, i.e. you can freely enrol. A selection of subjects for the grammar school teaching programme is equally without restrictions.
The University of Greifswald offers international cooperation and international teacher training programmes, which are continually being developed.
