Teaching careers with Bachelor's degrees and Master's degrees
At the start, you will study a Dual-Subject Bachelor's Programme with two school subjects for three years. After gaining your Bachelor's degree you will study a Master of Education (M.Ed.) Programme for two years.
The Master's degree is a prerequisite for teacher training (Referendariat). On successfully completing your teacher training and passing the second state examination, you will be qualified to teach in schools.
Please note: In the Dual-Subject Bachelor’s Programme, you will already need to choose specific subject combinations for your chosen school type. For an overview, refer to the following table.
