MEd Mathematics (Gymnasium/Gesamtschule) at University of Bonn

Mathematics is a structural science; as such, its goal in this Master of Education degree program is to prove statements about mathematical objects and structures according to the principles of logic and to construct and refine mathematical theories. Such theories should be described so generally that the results can be applied to as many real situations as possible. Students are involved with current research topics in mathematics from the areas of arithmetic, geometry, algebra, mathematical analysis, probability and statistics, linear algebra and mathematical modeling.

Duration: 4 semesters (2 years)  |  Study mode: full-time; German-taught  |  Intake: Wintersemester (winter semester) and Sommersemester (summer semester)  |  Location: Bonn, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

What you will study

While in the bachelor's degree program students focus on the knowledge side of their two school subjects, the Master of Education degree program puts a stronger emphasis on educational sciences and subject didactics. Learning the didactic aspects of the knowledge-based topics, students can also deepen their own understanding of these topics. Students are introduced to a broad range of possibilities as to how mathematical proofs can be conducted, how problems can be varied, and how school students can discover how to learn math.
