Language proficiency and other requirements

The Ordinance for Entrance into the Teaching Profession NRW (Lehramtszugangsverordnung NRW) stipulates that all teacher education graduates must be proficient in two foreign languages, irrespective of whether they are studying a foreign language or not (an exception applies to teacher education degree programmes for vocational colleges). Foreign language proficiency is not a requirement for the teacher education degree programmes but rather for access to the teaching practice placement. If you do not have sufficient language proficiency at the beginning of the course, you can acquire it while studying for your degree. For more detailed information, go to the ZfL Navigation Tool.

Course description

Why can drones fly? How do satellites work? What type of cup keeps your coffee hot the longest? How big does my umbrella need to be if I want to fly like Mary Poppins? These types of questions help us to better understand the laws of nature together and teach them in an interesting way. We use modern technology and exciting experiments to explain the modern world and how to change it for a better tomorrow. Our mission is to creatively convey MINT content using the STEAM approach (Science • Technology • Engineering • Arts • Mathematics). Dynamic and target-group-oriented methods of Design Thinking round off our approach.
