If you want to study Chemistry Education, please choose it as your major or minor within the two-subject Bachelor’s degree programme.
There are four study objectives within the two-subject Bachelor’s degree. You can choose the following study objectives for Chemistry Education:
The two-subject Bachelor’s degree programme consists of two sub-programmes (major and minor) and an area of specialisation plus internships and/or school placements as well as a final module. In addition, there are courses in educational sciences and educational psychology when studying for a two-subject Bachelor’s degree in a teacher training course. The Bachelor’s thesis is written in the final module.
If the two-subject Bachelor’s degree is studied with the aim of becoming a teacher at a Grundschule, Hauptschule or Realschule, 51 credits are earned in the major and 45 credits in the minor. In educational sciences and educational psychology 45 credits are acquired. The area of specialisation (12 credits) includes courses with interdisciplinary and action-oriented components to help you develop cross-disciplinary and practical professional competences. 12 credits are earned by completing school placements. The final module includes writing the Bachelor’s thesis (15 credits).
If the two-subject Bachelor’s degree is studied with the aim of becoming a teacher at a Gymnasium, 90 credits are earned in the major and 45 credits in the minor. In educational sciences and educational psychology 6 credits are acquired. The area of specialisation (12 credits) includes courses with interdisciplinary and action-oriented components to help you develop cross-disciplinary and practical professional competences. 12 credits are earned by completing school placements. The final module includes writing the Bachelor’s thesis (15 credits).
If the two-subject Bachelor’s degree is studied with a subject-specific goal (no teacher training course), 90 credits are earned in the major and 45 credits in the minor. The area of specialisation (18 credits) includes courses with interdisciplinary and action-oriented components to help you develop cross-disciplinary and practical professional competences. The internships (12 credits) are completed on a subject-related basis (not at a school!). The final module includes writing the Bachelor’s thesis (15 credits).
Possibilities of combination
In principle, Chemistry Education can be combined with all other subjects of the two-subject Bachelor's degree. However, some combinations are only possible to a limited extent, depending on the desired degree.
If you are aiming for the teaching profession, please consult the regulations governing the combination of different subjects for the different teacher training courses.
If you are looking for a combination not mentioned here, we strongly recommend that you consult with the programme coordinator for the two-subject Bachelor's degree.
