BEd Teacher Training for Secondary Schools (practice-integrated) at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg

The interdisciplinary, consecutive Bachelor's programme combines subject-specific training in two teaching subjects, including subject didactics, with educational science training in educational psychology, general pedagogy and career orientation. Supervised school practice phases at secondary schools give early professional orientation, and the degree provides the foundation for a subsequent Master of Education.

Faculty: Faculty of Humanities  |  Duration: 6 semesters  |  Study mode: full-time; German-taught  |  Intake: Winter semester  |  Location: Magdeburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany

What you will study

Students study German in combination with chemistry, ethics, technology or computer science, or mathematics in combination with chemistry, ethics, computer science or physics; the available combinations are announced each study year by the Ministry of Education. From the third semester there is a fixed weekly practice day at a school in Saxony-Anhalt.

Career pathways

A Master of Education is required after the Bachelor's degree to teach at a state general education school (secondary school or community school) and start the preparatory service; the corresponding Master's programme is still being developed at OVGU.
