BA Chinese (teaching profession) at University of Göttingen

The modern world language Chinese is now offered as an elective subject at more than 70 secondary schools and grammar schools throughout Germany, and at some even as an Abitur subject. GAU is one of the few universities where you can study modern Chinese in combination with a second teaching subject (D, E, Fr, Sp, Lat, M, Ph, others on application) with the professional goal of becoming a teacher. Previous knowledge of Chinese is not required for this.

Faculty: Faculty of Humanities  |  Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time; German-taught  |  Intake: Only the winter semester  |  Location: Göttingen, Niedersachsen, Germany

What you will study

The language training in the core curriculum serves to impart basic qualifications in the modern Chinese language - spoken and written - as a prerequisite for managing everyday communication. This also includes a compulsory study visit to a Chinese-speaking country in the fifth semester.

Career pathways

First and foremost, this programme is designed to train teachers of Chinese in high schools. If you do not want to become a teacher in the end, that is not tragic.
