Bachelor's Degree Programmes
The Bachelor's degree is the first academic degree that students can obtain after successfully completing an undergraduate programme.
The prerequisite for admission to a Bachelor's programme is usually a general university entrance qualification (A-levels) or an equivalent qualification.
After completing a bachelor's degree, students have the option of entering professional life or applying for a master's programme.
Teacher Training Degree Programmes
A teacher training degree is a course of study that prepares students for a career as a teacher. It provides the knowledge, skills and pedagogical competencies required for teaching in schools.
Teacher training degrees cover both subject knowledge and subject-specific teaching content. Students usually choose two or more subjects and learn how to prepare and deliver lessons in those subjects in a didactically appropriate manner.
Baden-Württemberg will continue to need highly qualified and committed teachers in the future. Teacher training therefore offers excellent career prospects. Those who decide to become teachers must usually complete a practical teaching component alongside their university degree.
