Entry requirements

No Numerus Clausus (open admission). University entrance qualification: A university entrance qualification, such as a general secondary school leaving certificate, is required for admission onto the study programme. Initial internship: In Jena, the teacher training course includes an introductory internship lasting 240 hours. You should reflect on your educational experience in dealing with children and young people in order to review your career aspirations and make a conscious decision. It makes sense to complete the introductory internship before starting your studies, but it can also be completed before registering for the internship semester (before the start of the third semester). You can also have work you have already done with children and young people recognized.
