Bachelor Teacher Education Physics (Gymnasium/Gesamtschule) at University of Bonn

The goal of physics is to quantitatively and qualitatively capture states and occurrences in nature and describe them on the basis of generally valid physical laws. From macrocosm to microcosm, physics explores the basic building blocks of the world around us and how they interact.

Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time; German-taught  |  Intake: Wintersemester (winter semester)  |  Location: Bonn, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

What you will study

This entails at the minutest levels the search for elementary building blocks and their characteristics (elementary particle physics) but also, at every scale, the description of their formations, that is, for example, how protons and neurons are built from quarks (hadron physics), how atomic nuclei are built from protons and neutrons (nuclear physics), how atoms are built from nuclei and electron shells (atomic physics), how molecules and solids are built from atoms (condensed matter physics), etc.

Career pathways

Teaching at grammar and comprehensive 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.
