Teacher Education: Bachelor & Master

Are you interested in the teacher education programme and do you want to become a classroom teacher? The teacher education programme for general secondary education in Vienna and Lower Austria offers you the possibility to choose your desired combination from 27 teaching subjects and one specialisation. In the teaching subjects/specialisation, you will acquire the subject-specific scientific and didactic knowledge. In the general principles of educational sciences (ABG), you will deal with questions about teaching, learning and teaching as a profession. The degree programme is complemented by pedagogical practical studies (PPS) which enable you to put your theoretical knowledge into practice (at schools of different school types).

The teacher education programme for general secondary education is divided into a bachelor's and a master's programme.

The minimum duration is 12 semesters (bachelor’s: 8 semesters, master’s: 4 semesters).

Depending on your interests, you choose two subjects (or a subject and a specialisation). If you would like to study a third subject, this is possible by doing a complementary degree programme.
