In addition to modules in the core area of interdisciplinary general education/elementary general studies students attend advanced courses in the specialisation of their choice. Students elect either a specialism in the natural sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, engineering (earth sciences optional) or the social sciences (history, geography, politics).

Career pathways

Depending on students' choice of school specialisation, the Bachelor programme 'Specialist Education' ('Bildungswissenschaften des Primar- und Elementarbereichs') trains students as teachers for the age groups 3 to 16 years in the elementary area of education, in day nursery as well as for primary and secondary schools (supervision) and in other non-school educational institutions. To acquire the qualification to teach at state schools, students must subsequently obtain a Master of Education postgraduate degree (M.Ed).
