Program details
Overview
History for teacher education at Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin is a six-semester, 113-credit Kernfach run by the Institute of History at Campus Mitte and taught in German, leading toward the Master of Education and a teaching career at Integrated Secondary Schools and Gymnasien. The subject curriculum centres on Ancient History, Medieval History, and Modern and Contemporary History, combined with foundational subject-didactics modules and compulsory education-science and language-education components alongside the Zweitfach.
Students examine political, social, economic and cultural developments across these periods and the connections between them, reflect critically on how history is written, and learn to translate historical topics into material suitable for classroom teaching, alongside methodological grounding shared with the non-teaching History degree.
New students are admitted for the winter semester, and admission is subject to a numerus clausus for both first-semester and higher-semester entry. Graduates proceed to the Master of Education in History, followed by the preparatory teaching service, leading to a teaching qualification for secondary schools.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Restricted admission (Numerus Clausus / NC) for first-semester and higher-semester entry; new students enrol in the winter semester.
