Chinesisch (Chinese)

Master of Education (M.Ed.)

Sinology at the University of Freiburg provides a comprehensive introduction to China’s past and present. Students develop advanced Chinese language skills and a deep understanding of its history, politics, society, and modern developments through a broad, interdisciplinary curriculum. At Freiburg’s Institute of Sinology, students can study Chinese within the M.Ed. programme. Alongside advanced language and disciplinary coursework (in German and English), students gain pedagogical skills and complete a supervised school practicum, though placements in the Freiburg region are currently limited. A Master of Education in Chinese qualifies graduates for the teacher preparation service (Referendariat) and entry into the teaching profession in Germany. School placements in the Freiburg region are currently limited, so applicants are advised to consult the academic advisor before applying.
