Program details
Overview
This Master of Education in Geschichte (History) is a four-semester, German-taught programme offered as a first teaching subject (1. Fach) by the Institute of History at Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin, based on Campus Mitte. It trains students for the Lehramt route into integrated secondary schools and Gymnasien (ISG), combining continued subject study in history with the subject-specific didactics and pedagogical training required for classroom teaching in the Berlin school system.
Students admitted into this first subject select a second teaching subject (2. Fach) from the Professional School of Education's wide combination catalogue, spanning languages, sciences, humanities and social subjects, to build the full two-subject Lehramt qualification expected of German secondary teachers.
Admission into the first semester is currently open rather than quota-restricted, in both the winter and summer intakes, reflecting demand for qualified history teachers. On completion, graduates proceed to a teaching traineeship (Referendariat) and state examination (Staatsexamen) before taking up certified teaching positions, building on the Institute of History's established role in Berlin teacher education.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Open admission (zulassungsfrei) for first-semester entry in the winter intake and for higher-semester transfers in both the winter and summer semesters.
