This programme prepares future computer science teachers for secondary and vocational schools in Saarland, combining rigorous subject knowledge with teaching methodology. Students study formal foundations such as formal languages and mathematical methods for computing, alongside software development and computer hardware, so they can explain technical concepts clearly to school pupils growing up in a digital society.
Core modules cover programming, algorithms and data structures, big data engineering and software projects, taught partly alongside bachelor's computer science students, together with dedicated teaching-methodology coursework. Elective advanced courses, several taught in English, allow students to specialise according to interest, and two placements in schools connect theory with classroom practice. No prior programming experience is required before starting.
Candidates need English skills at CEFR level B2, which can be built up during the first year of study if not already met on entry. Teacher-training students combine this subject with a second teaching subject and educational-science studies.
