Mathematik (Mathematics)

Master of Education (M.Ed.)

The Master of Education in Mathematics prepares students for teaching at Gymnasium or vocational school, combining subject-specific knowledge, didactics, educational science, and practical school experience. After completing the module ‘Mathematics Education for the Branches of Mathematics,’ students may choose an advanced seminar or the module ‘Research in Mathematics Education’ to prepare for their master’s thesis. In the subject-specific part, lectures deepen knowledge in chosen areas of mathematics, leading to a subject-specific master’s thesis. The programme qualifies graduates for practical teacher training and entry into teaching at Gymnasium. With strong mathematics knowledge, graduates may also pursue careers in industry or business, particularly when paired with a suitable second subject.
