Teacher training at grammar schools (first state examination)

This page contains automatically translated content.

The program trains high school teachers in two subjects, which can be freely chosen and combined from the range of subjects - with the exception of art and music: these subjects cannot be studied together.

For the subjects art, music and sports, an artistic entrance examination or a sports aptitude test must be taken. In addition to the teaching subjects, the core studies in education and social sciences are a compulsory part of the teacher training program at the University of Kassel. Graduates with the First State Examination for the teaching profession at grammar schools can apply for the pedagogical preparatory service. This is organized by state authorities, in Hesse by the Hessische Lehrkräfteakademie, and takes place at study seminars and training schools. After the preparatory service, the second state examination is taken, which includes the teaching qualification for the teaching profession at grammar schools.
