Teacher training at grammar schools (first state examination, one NC subject)

The content on this page was translated automatically.

The program at Hessen International University educates prospective high school teachers in two chosen subjects, which they can freely select and combine from a diverse range of disciplines, except for art and music which cannot be studied together.

For subjects such as art, music, and sports, aspiring students are required to undergo an artistic entrance examination or a sports aptitude test. Alongside the selected teaching subjects, the core studies in education and social sciences are an essential component of the teacher training program at Hessen International University. Upon successful completion of the First State Examination for the teaching profession at grammar schools, graduates have the opportunity to apply for the pedagogical preparatory service. This preparatory service is coordinated by state authorities and, in the context of Hessen, is administered by the Hessische Lehrkräfteakademie. It entails practical training at study seminars and training schools. Subsequent to the preparatory service, candidates undertake the second state examination, which encompasses the teaching qualification for the grammar school teaching profession.
