As a student on a teacher training degree programme at the Heidelberg University of Teacher Education, you have the opportunity to also study a special extension subject . This allows you to acquire further teaching qualifications and in-depth expertise during your studies.

You can currently choose from the subjects Theatre Education, Aesthetic Education, Education for the Deafblind/Hard of Hearing and Informatics Education in Schools (IBIS).

As a student of the special extension subject "Aesthetic Education", you will develop didactic strategies that will enable you to incorporate overarching musical and artistic design principles into your lessons.

In this supplementary programme you will
- familiarise yourself with basic artistic working methods,
- recognise the academic structures in dealing with aesthetic education,
- recognise the practical and didactic characteristics of one of the subjects (art/music) in greater depth and
- develop the overarching pedagogical and academic forms of an aesthetic relationship to the world.

The course consists of two introductory basic modules (AEB 01 and 02), which you study in equal parts in the two subjects of art and music, an in-depth module in one of the two subjects, which allows you to set an individual focus and the necessary subject-specific specialisation (compulsory elective module AEB 03) and an academic and practical in-depth module with interdisciplinary questions (AEB 04).

You are entitled to study this extension subject if you are enrolled in a teacher training-related Bachelor's degree programme or a Master's degree programme in Education at Heidelberg University of Education.

You must have successfully completed at least 25 CP in the teacher training-related Bachelor's degree programme.

This special extension subject is admission-free.
You can submit your application for enrolment directly to the SSC or send it by post to the Admissions Office during the following periods:


Summer semester: 01 - 31 March
Winter semester: 01 - 30 September

What is it like to be deafblind or hard of hearing? How do children and young people with deafblindness/deaf-vision impairment perceive the world? How do they construct ideas about the world? And what do the communicative expressions based on these mental images look like? You will deal with these questions intensively when studying this extension subject.

As students with deafblindness/hearing-visual impairment can be found in schools with all special educational specialisms, you can take this course regardless of your chosen special educational specialism.

As graduates, you will have the relevant subject-specific and didactic knowledge in computer science that will enable you to design targeted teaching, learning and educational processes related to the subject of computer science and to independently introduce new subject-specific and interdisciplinary developments into teaching and school development.

They can
- recognise, evaluate and explain computer science issues in various applications and contexts as well as their social impact,
- transfer computer science-specific content concepts and process concepts to other fields of application and use your acquired computer science competences in contexts outside of computer science,
- characterise computer science as a discipline and reflect on the function and image of computer science and computer science education in society,
- reflect on current development trends in school informatics and maintain a critical openness towards new developments in informatics,
- establish links between your specialised knowledge and school informatics.

The degree programme consists of a basic module (INF 01), in which you are introduced to the discipline of computer science, two specialisation modules (INF 02 and INF 05), in which various scientific and didactic topics are covered, and a final module (INF 06), in which the role of computer science in society and schools is discussed.
