German

The main focus of the teaching bachelor’s degree program in German are the fields of modern German literary studies, German medieval studies, German linguistics and didactics for the school subject German. 

On the one hand, German-language literature is examined in its literary, cultural-historical and media-related dimensions from its early Middle Age beginnings to the present. On the other hand, students study the German language itself from its early stages up until the contemporary language of today. In subject didactics modules, students learn about the didactic concepts for designing German lessons and discuss subject-specific competencies, methods and work techniques.

The teaching degree for vocational schools combines a professional discipline with a school subject and educational sciences.

Possible lines of work:

Teaching at vocational schools. To teach at a German public school, candidates must follow up their bachelor’s degree with a Master of Education degree program as well as practical teacher training.

For other possible lines of work, please refer to the (dual-subject) German Studies degree program.
