Secondary School Education

This page only lists the subjects in which a two-subject bachelor's degree for the teaching qualification at the secondary-school level (Gymnasium/Gesamtschule) is possible.

However, there are numerous other subjects at University of Münster in which a two-subject bachelor's degree (Zwei-Fach-Bachelor) is possible. An overview is provided by the study guide of the Student Advice and Counselling Centre (ZSB) at the University of Münster: To the study guide

To earn teaching qualification at the secondary-school level (Gymnasium/Gesamtschule), candidates must complete a two-subject bachelor's degree programme (Zwei-Fach-Bachelor). When you apply, you must select two majors (your future teaching subjects). You will be required to complete an additional Bildungswissenschaften module during your degree programme.

You may choose from the following subjects:

  • Anglistik/Amerikanistik (teaching subject Englisch)
  • Biologie
  • Chemie (non-restricted)
  • Germanistik (teaching subject Deutsch)
  • Erziehungswissenschaft (teaching subject Pädagogik)
  • Evangelische Religionslehre (non-restricted)
  • Französisch
  • Geographie
  • Geschichte (non-restricted)
  • Griechische Philologie (non-restricted)
  • Informatik
  • Islamische Religionslehre (non-restricted)
  • Italienisch (non-restricted)
  • Katholische Religionslehre (non-restricted)
  • Kunst (aptitude test required, non-restricted)
  • Lateinische Philologie (non-restricted)
  • Mathematik (non-restricted)
  • Musik/Musikpraxis und neue Medien (aptitude test required and non-restricted)
  • Niederlandistik (non-restricted)
  • Philosophie (non-restricted)
  • Physik (non-restricted)
  • Sozialwissenschaften (cannot be combined with Ökonomik, Politikwissenschaften or Soziologie)
  • Spanisch (non-restricted)
  • Sport (aptitude test required, non-restricted)

The combination of the following subjects does not lead to a teaching qualification and therefore not to admission to the Master of Education for grammar schools/comprehensive schools:

  • Erziehungswissenschaft, Geographie, Griechische Philologie, Italienisch, Kunst, Musik/Musikpraxis und neue Medien, Niederlandistik and Sport.

When applying for admission to a two-subject bachelor's degree programme (Zwei-Fach-Bachelor) via the Application Portal, you must indicate all of your desired subject combinations. A non-restricted subject can be changed to another non-restricted subject at enrolment.

In case you only choose two non-restricted subjects, you may enrol without applying for admission. Please note the deadlines.
