The degree is suitable for anyone who enjoys finding answers to tricky questions and wants to help shape our future. Therefore, you need to be able to work independently as well as in a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not necessary to have already mastered a programming language or to know your way around electronic components as these skills will be taught to you at JGU, starting from the basics. However, you should be curious about how systems can be designed responsibly and logically with the help of software and hardware, but above all with computer science expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that the mastery of theoretical and practical core skills is more important for teaching graduates than for graduates of other degree programs. Not only do you have to use them. You also have to teach them. You should therefore not be expecting an \u201ceasier\u201d program of study. Instead of diving deeper into a specific computer science discipline, your focus will be on education. However, you will otherwise mainly study \u201cnormally\u201d with students of the science programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One part of the program of study comprises mathematics and theory, so you should be able to think analytically and logically. We offer bridge courses<\/a> in mathematics to all those who are not certain they gained enough prior knowledge in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the specialist literature is written in English. Therefore, your English skills should be good enough to read and understand these texts. As a future teacher, language is one of your most important tools. That is why it is even more important for you to be able to express yourself precisely and eloquently in both written and spoken German.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an aspiring teacher, you should also enjoy teaching, be interested in varied didactic methods, and have good instincts when it comes to dealing with students. You should take pleasure in working with children and teenagers.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n

This program is studied as a part of the <\/b>Bachelor of Education<\/a> degree program (teacher education for Gymnasium<\/i>)<\/strong>. The degree program always includes two teaching subjects as well as the subject of Education Studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
