    About Master of Geography

    The subject of Geography in the Master of Education degree program focuses on current research topics in areas of geography such as geomorphology, soil science, hydrogeography, climate geography and landscape ecology, population, settlement, social and economic geography as well as geographic development research. While students in the bachelor's degree program focus on gaining subject-specific knowledge, the Master of Education degree program puts a stronger emphasis on educational sciences and subject didactics. The didactic modules address current research priorities in geography didactics from a theoretical perspective as well as with regard to their practical application. These include topics such as teacher expertise, individual learning prerequisites and school students interests and preconceptions. The curriculum is supplemented by basic concepts such as global learning and subject-specific work methods–e.g. learning from local/regional geography. Another focus is acquiring competencies such as spatial orientation and system competence. Additionally, the program offers an excursion module which gives students first-hand exposure to selected geographical questions and regional examples. In teaching degree programs designed for grammar and comprehensive schools, students choose two school subjects. Thus, in addition to Geography, students are enrolled for a second subject as well as Educational Sciences. The practical semester is a key component of the degree program. Possible lines of work: Teaching at schools For other possible lines of work, please refer to the Geography (MSc) degree program.
