About the Program

The Master's Teacher Training Course for Grammar Schools continues the subjects taken at the Bachelor's stage but with different weighting (20 CP in the first subject and 45 CP in the second subject). After completion, graduates will have studied both subjects to the same level across their Bachelor's and Master's degrees. Besides these two subjects, students focus on Education Sciences (30 CP). The program includes practical training in both teaching subjects (5 weeks each) and concludes with a Master's thesis (25 CP). After completing the Master's degree, graduates embark on a preparatory phase of teacher training in Lower Saxony for 18 months, with possibilities to transfer to different federal states. Students choosing a foreign language as their teaching subject must complete a three-month study-relevant period abroad.
