Become a primary school teacher in Kassel!

In addition to the two compulsory subjects of mathematics and German, you will take a third subject from the range of courses offered by the University of Kassel on the "Teaching Qualification for Primary Schools" course. In addition to the three teaching subjects, you will also take the "Educational and Social Science Core Studies" course, in which you will acquire knowledge and skills in the fields of education, psychology and social sciences. Practical phases at school are also part of the course. In addition to a five-week basic internship in the 2nd or 3rd semester, you will complete a practical semester in the 4th or 5th semester, during which you will carry out your first teaching experiments and learn to reflect academically on your role as a future teacher. The course concludes with the first state examination. You can then apply to a Studienseminar for the preparatory teaching service, which you will complete with the second state examination.
