The Study Programme in Teaching Mathematics takes nine semesters and comprises training in two subjects (90 CPs each) as well as the so-called basic sciences (60 CPs). It culminates in the First State Examination for Teachers at Secondary Schools at the end of the first phase of the course.

In the basic sciences you study educational science, including elements of teaching methodology, psychology, sociology and political studies. You also do a general educational work-experience module (Practical Phase I).

We teach both the subject-specific science and the relevant teaching methodology in every subject.

In mathematics we place great emphasis on a strong linkage between subject-specific science and the relevant teaching methodology: Whilst the course covers the same contents as the Bachelor’s programme in the initial semesters, later on, you will also study teaching methodology. In the so-called “combi modules”, advanced scientific contents are linked to subject-related teaching methodology.
