In recent years, most degree programmes in Germany have been adapted to the international bachelor's and master's degree system; among the few exceptions to this rule are the civil–service track teacher education programmes ('Lehramt'), which conclude with a State Examination in Bavaria.
The University of Passau has launched a new type of secondary school teaching degree to train teachers for the German 'Realschule', a selective 6-year secondary school which qualifies pupils for higher-level vocational work or vocational higher education. The Bachelor of Education takes the conventional Lehramt Realschule curriculum and gives it the new, internationally recognised first and second-cycle degree structure.
If you are interested in studying the Lehramt Realschule programme, the Bachelor of Education may be an attractive alternative for you.
