Faculty I
Faculty of Education
The Faculty of Education comprises the Department of Educational Science, the Department of Psychology, the Department of Sociology and the newly founded Department of Special Education. It is responsible for the educational content of all teacher training programmes at the university. It also supports the university in its cooperation with the University of Freiburg, FACE, in secondary school teacher training for Gymnasium . A number of university certificates can also be obtained at the faculty, including the Certificate in Pedagogical Handling of Heterogeneity in Schools and Teaching, the Certificate in Research Methods in Empirical Education and Social Sciences, and the Certificate in Diagnostics and Intervention in Learning, Behavioural and Developmental Disorders. The faculty has a total of around 1,100 students.
The faculty offers bachelor's degree programmes in Educational Science and Early Childhood Education, as well as master's degree programmes in Educational Science with a focus on Adult Education or Social Pedagogy, Psychology of Learning and Teaching, Teaching and School Development, and Vocational Education – Nursing/Business and Social Management.
Faculty staff cooperate with the other two faculties in various areas, including teacher training programmes, the Bachelor's programme in German as a Second/Foreign Language and the Master's programme in Health Education. Research and methodological skills are also a cross-cutting theme that leads to significant points of contact between the faculties. In addition, there are two inter-faculty study institutions headed by individual professors or faculty staff: the Centre for Teacher Training and the Study Plus programme for senior citizens. Alongside the Educational Workshop, the Faculty of Education runs the Teaching Workshop 'Health – Childhood – Living Environment' with the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Technology.
