Polyvalent dual major bachelor’s degree programme
Programme structure
The polyvalent dual major bachelor’s degree programme is composed of two majors, i.e. subjects, of equal weight and a choice between two tracks. If you want to become a teacher, you must complete the degree programme with the teacher education track (Gymnasium).
Teacher education track
If you choose the teacher education track in the polyvalent dual major bachelor’s degree programme, your course of study includes the lecture course ‘Introduction to Educational Sciences’, which is offered only in the winter semester, a three-week orientation internship during the lecture-free period between the winter and summer semester, courses in subject-specific teaching methods, as well as studies in your majors. The teacher education-related bachelor’s degree programme qualifies you to enrol in the Master of Education (M.Ed.) programme.
Individual study track
The individual study track gives you the opportunity to acquire additional subject-specific and/or interdisciplinary competencies as well as profession-oriented competencies. If you are planning to continue your studies in a subject-related master’s degree programme (M.A., M.Sc.), please inquire early on about the specific prerequisites for admission.
