Teacher training degree programs

Goal of the degree program

The diverse field of work covered in the teacher training degree includes teaching, educational,, and school development activities. Graduates with a degree in Teacher Training for Primary Schools can generally teach grades 1–4.

Structure of the degree program

Students first complete a 3-year bachelor’s degree program and then a 2-year master’s degree program, for which they earn a bachelor of education (BEd) and master of education (MEd), respectively. Both degree programs are made up of 4 degree components: Educational Science and 3 teaching subjects from the primary school curriculum.

• Two of the teaching subjects are German and mathematics.
• Students must choose a third teaching subject as an elective subject from: Alevi religion, visual arts,* English, music,* Protestant religion, Islamic religion, Catholic religion, sports, and general studies in primary education
  *The teaching subjects music and visual arts are an exception. Visual arts or music are studied as a double subject with a total of 104 ECTS credits (including 20 ECTS credits for subject-specific didactics) and can only be combined with German or mathematics. This does not result in an extension of the regular period of study.
• One of the 3 teaching subjects is a specialization subject in the master’s degree program with a total of 15 ECTS credits.
• The degree component Educational Science also includes the subject-specific didactics of the teaching subjects and the teaching placements.
• Teaching placements: The introductory internship is completed in a single module in the 3rd and 4th semester of the bachelor’s degree program and totals 8 ECTS credits. The advanced internship in the master’s degree program totals 30 ECTS credits and is completed over 2 modules. In addition to the teaching placement, these modules include preparatory, complementary, and follow-up seminars as well as examinations.

There is also an elective component in the bachelor’s degree program and a final module (bachelor’s thesis or master’s thesis) in both degree programs.

Elements are laid out in the table below:

	Educational Science	German	Mathe-matics	Elective subject	Speciali-zation subject	Elective component	Final module	Total
BEd	80 ECTS credits	27 ECTS credits	27 ECTS credits	27 ECTS credits	-	9 ECTS credits	10 ECTS credits	180 ECTS credits

• The teaching subjects music and visual arts cannot be combined. If students select one of the two subjects, the bachelor’s degree program increases by 60 ECTS credits,  to be completed in the specialist subject. This increases the regular period of study for the bachelor’s degree program by 2 semesters to 8 semesters in total.
• The teaching subjects history, social sciences, Greek, and philosophy cannot be combined.
• The degree component Educational Science also includes the subject-specific didactics of the teaching subjects and the teaching placements.

The subjects visual art and music cannot be studied in Supplementary Studies.

The total number of ECTS credit to be earned in Supplementary Studies varies depending on the teaching type and is distributed as follows between the teaching subject and the corresponding subject didactics.

Excerpt from the examination regulations for Supplementary Studies starting in Winter Semester 2022/23

Teacher Training Program		ECTS in Supplementary Studies
		Subject	Subject didactics	Total
Teacher Training for Primary Schools (LAGS)		47	20 + 12*	79
Teacher Training in Special Needs Education for Primary School (LAS-G)		32	20 + 24*	76
Teacher Training in Special Needs Education for Secondary School (LAS-Sek)		62	14	76
Teacher Training for Secondary Schools (LASek)		82	14	96
Teacher Training in Vocational Education (LAB)		62	14	76

*In addition to the corresponding subject didactics totaling 20 ECTS credits, when qualifying for LAGS one supplementary module in subject didactics at primary level (mathematics or language) must usually be studied and when qualifying for LAS both modules in subject didactics at primary level (mathematics and language) must be studied.

In Hamburg, 30 ECTS credits correspond to one semester of full-time study. Even in a full-time study program students should expect to study for at least 2 years, depending on the courses offered in the respective semesters.

Supplementary Studies are modularized, i.e. examinations are taken throughout the program. There is neither a bachelor's nor a master's final examination. Internships are not completed during the program.

After successful completion, you will receive a certificate, a diploma supplement and a transcript of records which are valid in conjunction with the university degree obtained abroad. Since a further degree will not be awarded, you will not receive a diploma. Information on how to apply for the documents can be found below.

Please also note the examination regulations (in German only) for this interdisciplinary teacher training program.

Admission requirements for Supplementary Studies

• proof of teacher training qualification earned abroad
• proof of determination of equivalence of teaching qualification abroad issued by a German educational authority
• proof of German Language Proficiency equivalent to level C1 accepted by Universität Hamburg
• Some teaching subjects have special conditions for admission: aptitude test for sport; language skills for English, French, Spanish and further subjects.

Supplementary Studies start each winter semester, and the application period runs from 1 June to 15 July.
