Study programmes

The study programme History Oriented at Education is a Bachelorʼs degree that provides vocational competence in history and history didactics. The newly introduced courses Didactics of History and Teaching Practice enable the graduates of the Bachelor’s degree programme to work as assistant teachers at elementary and secondary schools, educators at memory institutions or instructors in leisure-time activities and summer camps for children and young adults. Together with the follow-up Masterʼs programme Training History Teachers for Lower and Higher Secondary Schools, for which it serves as preparatory, it represents a full-scale university study curriculum for future history teachers. The Bachelor´s degree study programme meets all qualification requirements for educators at museums, galleries and memory institutions. If the graduate is interested in improving his qualification, he can continue in the follow-up Master program Education and Interpretation in the Field of Cultural Heritage.
