About the Program

The subject of Computer Science is offered as one of two subjects within the Master's Teacher Training Course for Grammar Schools. On the basis of the Interdisciplinary Bachelor's Degree Programme, the master's degree programme qualifies future teachers in terms of the subject discipline, teaching methodology and educational science, ensuring that they have the skills required to complete the preparatory phase of teacher training at grammar schools. The range of courses covers a compulsory area focusing on teaching methodology and a subject-specific compulsory elective area. The compulsory area includes a supervised school placement, which prepares students directly for teaching Computer Science as a subject and broaches the issue of fundamental experiences with regard to the promotion of expertise, as well as social and personnel skills. The practical training is supplemented by an in-depth scientific examination of teaching methodological skills. In the compulsory elective area, students can expand on the specialist knowledge gained during the bachelor's degree programme.
