At the University of Greifswald, you can choose from eleven subjects, which can be combined freely with each other: German, English, Geography, History, Art and Design, Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Polish, Protestant Religion and Russian.
Teacher training programmes usually take ten semesters and conclude with the ‘1. Staatsexamen’ (1st State Examination). During studies, you already gather practical experience. The practical elements are spread out over the entire course of your studies and will help you to stay in touch with everyday school life. Further information on the study contents can be found here.
Some subjects in the ‘Gymnasium’ teaching programme are subject to local admission restrictions (nc). It is therefore necessary to apply to the University of Greifswald. The same goes for the primary school teaching programme.
All ‘Regionale Schule’ teaching programmes have no admission restrictions, i.e. anyone can enrol during the enrolment period. A selection of subjects for the ‘Gymnasium’ teaching programme is equally without restrictions.
The University of Greifswald offers international cooperation and international teacher training programmes, which are being continually developed.
