Master in School Special Education

The Master in Schulische Heilpädagogik prepares students to teach and support children and young people with special educational needs or cognitive impairments. Specialists work closely with families and schools, advise teachers, and collaborate in multi-professional teams. The degree builds on three study areas: subject sciences, practical professional training, and scientific work. Content is organised around key competences for the profession. The focus on children with impaired cognitive development addresses subject didactics in mathematics and language, and challenging classroom situations such as autism spectrum conditions, self-harm, aggression and internalising difficulties.
