Chemistry as subject in the Masters Teacher Training Course for Grammar Schools (Master of Education)

Teachers should enjoy interacting with children and young people. Furthermore, it should be taken into consideration that teaching staff must also interact with parents, education experts from other institutions and a large number of teacher colleagues. Of course, it is also important that students are interested in their chosen subjects, enabling them to get their pupils enthusiastic about the subjects. Multidisciplinary skills such as knowledge transfer are also required.

The Masters degree in the Teacher Training Course for Grammar Schools entitles graduates to enter the preparatory phase of teacher training for grammar schools in Lower Saxony for both subjects taken. It is generally possible for graduates to change to a different federal state for their preparatory phase of teacher training; a test is taken on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the relevant local educational authorities. Graduates may also embark on an academic career by taking a doctorate. They also have the possibility to work in a non-school-based area in the subjects taken.
