You will graduate with the academic degree "Bachelor of Arts (B. A.)". This degree qualifies you for a career in an educational field such as educational and family counselling, all-day school supervision or in educational centres. Important: After completing this degree programme, you are not yet a teacher!

If you would like to teach as a teacher at secondary modern and lower secondary schools, intermediate secondary schools and community schools, you can continue your qualification with the Master's degree programme in Secondary Level I Teaching (M. Ed. Sek I). You can also study this programme with us at the Heidelberg University of Education.

We work closely with Heidelberg University on the secondary level: This is a joint degree programme with the profile lines Teaching Qualification Secondary Level I and Teaching Qualification Grammar School. Your advantage: with us, you will acquire comprehensive and practical expertise in subject didactics and educational sciences, while at the university you will deepen your knowledge in the subject sciences - combining the best of both worlds to create a strong foundation for your career start in secondary education.

With this Master's degree, you will be able to work as a teacher at lower secondary level after the 18-month preparatory service (traineeship).

Successful completion of the Master of Education degree programme in the Secondary Level I Teacher Training profile qualifies you in particular to start a preparatory service at secondary level I. In addition, it is also possible to work in a pedagogical field such as educational and family counselling, all-day school supervision or in educational centres.

If you would like to teach at Werkrealschulen, Hauptschulen, Realschulen and Gemeinschaftsschulen , you must complete an 18-month preparatory service (Referendariat). As soon as you have successfully completed the preparatory service, you can work as a teacher in the state school service.

Once a year, the Student Orientation and Counselling Service (SOBS ) organises the information event "Ab ins REF!", where contact persons from the offices involved will provide you with detailed advice on the preparatory service.

An academic career or doctorate is also possible after the Master of Education. The Graduate School of the PH Heidelberg will be happy to support you.
