For admittance to the master’s program applicants need to fulfill the following admission requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree related to this master program with a teacher training component and two subject areas, or another equivalent bachelor's degree.

The DSH - or German Language University Entrance Exam for Foreign Students - is obligatory for all applicants whose first language is not German and who have earned their initial degree from a university (or equivalent institution) where the language of instruction is not German.

For further details consult the “Zugangssatzung” (only in German).

Students do not pay any tuition fees, the university only charges semester fees and contributions each semester.

The Master in English Education program integrates field and coursework to further develop knowledge of English proficiency as well as and subject-related teaching skills. Students learn how to translate subject matter into teaching that serves all students' learning, how to meet professional standards of teaching, and how to develop the ability to sustain and grow throughout their career.

Students improve key oral and written English language skills, engage with literature and media, and learn to apply modern linguistic methods to various texts and discourses. Students acquire in-depth knowledge and instructional skills that enable them to analyse, plan and evaluate foreign language teaching and learning processes. In classroom internships, they gain experience in the professional field and thereby expand their ability to systematically reflect on foreign language teaching.
