Art - Secondary Teacher Education (Gymnasium)
Dual-Subject Bachelor + Master of Secondary Education (Gymnasium)
Students studying towards a degree in Secondary Teacher Education (Gymnasium) will first study the six-semester-long degree program dual-subject Bachelor. You are required to choose a further subject in addition to this subject. Subsequently, you have to take the four-semester-long degree program Master of Secondary Education (Gymnasium) in the same subjects, for which you must (re)apply. The Master of Education degree is a prerequisite for admission to the period of school-based training called the Referendariat.
The study of Art/Art Education is characterized by a close interlocking of theory and practice.
After introductory basic courses, individual studio, workshop and laboratory work is accompanied by corrective courses. This is supplemented by an examination of contemporary and historical art. In subject didactics, the knowledge gained is related to the school and extracurricular professional fields. Excursions are an important part of the course.
