FAQs - Frequently asked questions
Since the 16 German Bundesländer have different school systems, there is no definite answer to this question. As a rule, teachers in German public schools need two subjects, although - due to the current shortage of teachers - there seems to be some flexibility. Many E-LINGO alumni have found jobs in private primary schools and pre-schools, a sector that is steadily growing in Germany.
Will the master's degree be recognized in the same way as a degree earned in a face-to-face program?
The E-LINGO Masters degree is fully accredited and Bologna compatible, which means that it is recognised across Europe and respected worldwide.
