Teaching degree primary school / middle school / secondary school

The Bavarian teacher training programme is divided into an academic course of study at the university, which ends with the first state examination, and a two-year preparatory service, which concludes with the second state examination. The university teaching degree programme consists of

Primary school teaching degreeTeaching degree secondary schoolTeaching degree Realschule
  • a teaching subject,
  • Didactics of primary school teaching,
  • the education degree programme and
  • the Internships.
  • one teaching subject,
  • Didactics of the secondary school,
  • the education programme and the internships
  • the Internships.
  • two teaching subjects,

The study programme for physics as a teaching subject at primary schools, secondary schools and intermediate schools is divided into a subject-specific and a didactics component.

Please note: The Examination Regulations form the legal framework of a degree programme. Among other things, they specify which modules must be completed to graduate and are therefore compulsory reading for all students. The information on this page refers to the current version of the Examination Regulations and may therefore not apply to all students. In any case, the Examination Regulations applicable to students are legally binding.

Specialised science

The specialised scientific training imparts knowledge in the areas of experimental physics and the structure of matter. In terms of content, experimental physics focuses on the four fundamental areas of mechanics, electrodynamics, waves and quanta as well as thermodynamics. School content is taken up and deepened. The structure of matter describes the structure of atoms and molecules.

Compulsory modules

At least 52 credit points (secondary school, primary and middle school) from the compulsory modules must be demonstrated.

Note: Only PHY-LA-UFP-W-02 or PHY-B-P-04 and PHY-LA-UFP-W-01 or PHY-LA-UFP-W-16 can be credited. In addition, all compulsory or constrained elective modules of the Physics for Grammar School Teacher Training Programme can be credited.

Didactics

In the physics didactics courses, you will learn the basics of successful physics teaching, practise using experiments effectively and receive guidance on how to successfully combine learning content with experimentation. You will design physics lessons together with experienced lecturers and reflect on them. You will also receive suggestions for creative physics lessons in specially designed modules.

Compulsory modules

In the compulsory area, a module with 6 credit points and a final oral module examination must be completed.

Authorisation

Requirements for admission are a general higher education entrance qualification, a subject-specific higher education entrance qualification or a professional qualification. An application is not necessary for domestic students, as the degree programme is not subject to admission restrictions. International students should refer to the application information provided by the International Office.

A German Language Certificate forStudents with Foreign University Entrance Qualification is required.

General information on the topics of application, admission and enrolment, including the dates for enrolment and the required documents, can be found on the Registrar's Office website.

If you have any problems or questions regarding application or admission, please contact the Academic Advising Centre.
