General Information
For general information about the master’s program Teacher Training: English, please click here. You can find the curriculum here. Jump to page 40 to see all the courses you need to take in the subject English.
Course Registration
You must register via LFU:online within the designated registration period:
- Winter term: September 1 to 21
- Summer term: February 1 to 21
Please note:
- When signing up, you should ensure that you have completed any required prerequisite courses. You can find information on prerequisites in the curriculum as well as on LFU:online (in the same place where you access the course details and register).
- Course acceptance is not on a first-come, first-served basis. Places are allocated only after the registration period has ended, at which point lecturers determine acceptance.
Equivalent Courses
Starting with the Winter Semester 2026/27, only a small number of courses from the old curriculum will continue to be offered. In most cases, teaching will be based on the new curriculum.
For technical reasons, the old curriculum will remain available as a separate curriculum section in the course catalogue. Students can therefore still access the old curriculum and view the courses listed under it. However, many course titles have changed as part of the curriculum revision. In some cases, a course listed under the old curriculum corresponds directly to a course in the new curriculum and differs only in title. In other cases, a course may appear under its former title and course type in the catalogue while actually being taught as the equivalent course in the new curriculum.
Where this applies, the course description will include a note in the remarks section. For example:
Please note that, due to a curriculum change, this course is listed as a lecture in the course catalogue but is conducted as a seminar. The stated teaching format and assessment methods reflect its seminar character. Accordingly, attendance is also compulsory.
Students are therefore advised to consult the course description and remarks carefully, as the actual course title, teaching format, assessment requirements, and attendance regulations may differ from those indicated in the catalogue.

Master's Thesis
In order to complete your master's degree, you need to submit a master's thesis (22,5 ECTS-Credits). The topic of your master's thesis can be chosen from one of four areas: 1) Education Studies, 2) a teaching subject, 3) the didactics of one teaching subject, 4) a specialization. Supervisors are to be chosen from the respective areas of expertise. It is strongly recommended to select interdisciplinary topics.
If the supervisor(s) agree(s), the master's thesis can be written in a foreign language. In the teaching subjects English, French, Italian, and Spanish it must be written in the respective language.
In the module "Conception of the Master's Thesis" (5 ECTS-Credits), the topic, the scope, and the form of the master's thesis are agreed upon on the basis of a brief synopsis (exposé). This module is not a course but is done individually with the supervisor(s).
If Univ.-Prof. Christian Quendler is your supervisor, you can find more information here.
