Program details

Overview

This Staatsexamen pathway trains Gymnasium teachers of Latein, built for students who enjoy close textual work and have a genuine interest in Roman culture and its afterlife, alongside the readiness and vocation needed for a career in schools. The usual career goal is a Gymnasium teaching post, reached after the first Staatsexamen at Regensburg and a two-year Referendariat with a second Staatsexamen, but the analytical thinking, independent judgement and skill in handling complex material that the subject builds also suit publishing, archives, libraries, research institutions, journalism, cultural work and politics. A doctorate (Dr. phil.) is possible at Regensburg after the first Staatsexamen. The Regelstudienzeit is 9 semesters (270 ECTS). Entry assumes Latin close to Abitur level and at least the Latinum, and proof of Greek knowledge is required before the first Staatsexamen, though the Institute for Classical Philology offers preparatory courses for students who still need to acquire it.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Open admission without a numerus clausus or aptitude test. Entry requires language knowledge roughly at Abitur level in Latin and at least the Latinum; proof of Greek is also required before the first Staatsexamen, though it need not be in place at the start of study, and special preparatory courses are offered. A German-language certificate is required for applicants whose entrance qualification was obtained abroad.

Start Date: Wintersemester (October) or Sommersemester (April)
