MA/MS in Deutsch

This Staatsexamen pathway trains Realschule teachers of Deutsch through the study of Germanistik, a subject the page describes as a classical 'Massenfach' that rewards students who can organise their own reading and research. It is combined with a second Unterrichtsfach and the educational-science core within the Lehramt Realschule structure. Beyond a wide-ranging interest in language in all its forms, the subject expects students to read a great deal in a short time and to be comfortable writing papers and giving presentations as a normal part of studying. An Erasmus+ exchange with partner universities is available for a semester abroad. Alongside classroom teaching, graduates with this grounding in communicative, linguistic and cultural competence also work in publishing and media houses, public relations, or cultural institutions. The Regelstudienzeit is 7 semesters (210 ECTS), with enrolment possible in both the Winter- and Sommersemester and no numerus clausus restricting entry.
