The study and examination regulations govern the framework conditions of your Bachelor's degree programme in Primary Education. They include programme objectives and content, admission requirements, information on the scope and course of the programme.

Your study plan helps you to plan your degree programme in the standard period of study. It shows you how your degree programme is structured semester by semester, e.g. when you should ideally take which modules, how many credit points (ECTS) you should earn or when practical phases are planned for the Bachelor's degree in Primary Education. You can find it in the module handbook and in the study and examination regulations.

The study and examination regulations contain all information on the necessary examinations, including the final examination and examination procedures.

Each semester, the examination schedule provides you with a timetable of the days on which your examinations in the individual subjects or areas of study take place.

The Master's degree programme in Primary Education is divided into two parts: a university component and a practical component. You complete the university degree programme with a Master's examination. After successfully completing 12 months of preparatory service, you will be awarded the Masterof Education(M.Ed.) degree.

If you would like to teach at primary schools, you must complete the 18-month preparatory service (Referendariat) and can then work as a teacher in the state school service. 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 after completing a Master's degree in Primary School Teaching.
Once a year, the Student Orientation and Counselling Service (SOBS ) organises the information event "Ab ins REF!", at which contact persons from the offices involved provide 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.

Would you like to teach at lower secondary schools, secondary modern schools and community schools?
Then continue your qualification with the Master of Education, Secondary Level I Teacher Training profile.
The degree programme is offered as part of the Heidelberg School of Education (HSE) together with Heidelberg University; you must apply to the PHHD by the deadline.

With the Master of Education (M.Ed.), you can work as a teacher at lower secondary level after the subsequent 18-month traineeship (Referendariat).
