The content on this page was translated automatically.

The program at Hessen International University prepares prospective secondary school teachers in two chosen subjects, which they can select and combine from a diverse array of disciplines.

For subjects such as art, music, and sports, aspiring students are required to undergo an artistic entrance examination or a practical sports aptitude test. In conjunction with the selected teaching subjects, the core curriculum encompasses education and social sciences, constituting an integral facet of the teacher training program. Upon successful completion of the First State Examination for the teaching profession at Hauptschulen and Realschulen, graduates have the opportunity to apply for the pedagogical preparatory service. This preparatory service is orchestrated by state authorities and, in the context of Hessen, is administered by the Hessische Lehrkräfteakademie. It involves practical training at study seminars and training schools. Following the preparatory service, candidates undertake the second state examination, which encompasses the teaching qualification for the Hauptschulen and Realschulen teaching professions.
