What you will study

While students in the bachelor's degree program focus on gaining subject-specific knowledge, the Master of Education degree program puts a stronger emphasis on educational sciences and subject didactics. The didactic modules address current research priorities in geography didactics from a theoretical perspective as well as with regard to their practical application. These include topics such as teacher expertise, individual learning prerequisites and school students’ interests and preconceptions.
