About the programme

The English Master of Education at Ruhr University Bochum is part of the university's modular degree path for future teachers: after your B.A., you decide whether to continue toward teaching. It runs for four semesters, starts in winter or summer, and classes are in German and English. The specialisation is didactic methodology. An internship in the third semester is mandatory, and so is a stay abroad of three months in total, which can be split into two six-week programmes; six weeks in an English-speaking country are enough if your second subject is a modern foreign language. It suits you if you enjoy languages and reading and want to teach. Graduates can work in the teaching profession.
