The teacher training programme for secondary education (general education) consists of a Bachelor's and a Master's programme and trains students to become teachers in the chosen teaching subjects.
The planned duration of the Bachelor's degree programme in Secondary Education (General Education) is 8 semesters. In principle, two teaching subjects must be chosen, which are supplemented by general educational science basics, free elective subjects and integrated pedagogical-practical studies. The teaching subject Music Education can be combined with any teaching subject.
Students receive individual tuition from first-class teachers on their chosen instruments and can develop both artistically and in terms of music education.
