With the M. Ed., you have obtained a university degree that opens the door to becoming a teacher. However, the goal set at the beginning of the degree programme is not always the goal at the end. The following questions will be addressed in this event:

• What alternatives are there to the original career goal of wanting to become a teacher?
• What have you learnt during your studies that is also relevant for other professional fields?

The aim is to find out how professional orientation works and what is important for a new or reorientation.

The DAAD programme Lehramt.International - Scholarship Programmes offers university graduates with a Master Ed. the opportunity to gain experience in school and teaching in another country for a short period of time (min. one month, max. six months).

Against the background of an increasingly heterogeneous society in which diversity should be lived, getting to know another school system and other living conditions as well as new cultural encounters can significantly promote your intercultural competence and provide experience that can be extremely valuable for your future professional life as a teacher!
Further information can be found here.

Gaining further experience as a "substitute teacher" for a limited period of time before the preparatory service is not only an opportunity to bridge the time until the preparatory service, but also to visualise your career goal once again. You can find information on applying for substitute teaching positions here:
