In Osnabrück, Textile Design is regarded as a subject of cultural studies and the teaching of aesthetic and technical skills. Its special profile is determined by the interlocking of theory and practice.
The subject has exceptionally good technical facilities. In addition, gender-specific research is combined with research fields in the history of technology and culture. Subject-specific courses are offered on topics such as the cultural history of European and non-European textiles and clothing, the aesthetics of textiles and clothing or textile production and textile ecology. Didactic courses and practical excursions to museums, companies or exhibitions round off the course.
A course of study in Primary Teacher Education (Grundschule) is divided into several stages. After graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Education and Teaching, you are required to take a Master’s degree in Primary Education (Grundschule), for which you have to (re)apply. The Master of Education degree is a prerequisite for admission to the period of school-based training called the Referendariat.
