Secondary School Education (BA HRSGe)

To earn teaching qualification at the secondary school level, candidates must complete a Secondary School Education bachelor's degree programme (BA HRSGe).

Candidates are required to major in three subjects:

  • 1st subject of instruction
  • 2nd subject of instruction
  • Bildungswissenschaften (non-restricted)

You may choose from the following mandatory subjects:

  • Biologie (non-restricted)
  • Chemie (non-restricted)
  • German (non-restricted)
  • Englisch
  • Evangelische Religionslehre (non-restricted)
  • Geschichte (non-restricted)
  • Islamische Religionslehre (non-restricted)
  • Katholische Religionslehre (non-restricted)
  • Mathematik (non-restricted)
  • Physik (non-restricted)
  • Praktische Philosophie (non-restricted)
  • Wirtschaft-Politik

Please note that some of these subjects may not be combined with others. This particularly applies to the following so-called "optional" subjects which may be combined with only one mandatory subject:

  • Französisch (non-restricted)
  • Geographie
  • Kunst (non-restricted and admission from Kunstakademie Münster required)
  • Musik (non-restricted and aptitude test required)
  • Niederländisch (non-restricted)
  • Sport (non-restricted andaptitude test required)

When applying for admission to a BA HRSGe programme via the Application Portal, you must indicate all of your desired subject combinations in case one of the subjects is a subkect with restricted admission. A non-restricted subject can be changed to another non-restricted subject at enrolment.

Example:
You are interested in majoring in Biologie, Deutsch and Englisch in a BA HRSGe programme. You wish to combine Bildungswissenschaften with two of your majors. Bildungswissenschaften is then automatically added to the combination. This means you will be applying for the three combinations:

If you wish to major in two non-restricted subjects, it is not required to submit an application because Bildungswissenschaften is a non-restricted degree subject.
