Qualification Profile and Skills

The Secondary School Teacher Training Programme (General Education) qualifies its graduates as teachers in the selected subjects of general education / specializations for all secondary schools (Neue Mittelschule, Polytechnische Schule, Academic Secondary Schools,  Intermediate and Higher Technical and Vocational Schools). This study programme also meets the requirements for teaching in intermediate and higher schools in the South Tyrol *. It consists of a Bachelor’s Programme and a subsequent Master’s Programme. It covers training in general education science, a pedagogical-practical training and a subject-specific and subject-didactic education in the two selected teaching subjects.

The Bachelor’s School Teacher Training in the subject of Greek teaches students the necessary knowledge and skills for competently teaching Greek at secondary schools.

The study programme focuses on Greek literature. The students not only get an overview of the epochs of Greek literature and their central works, but also learn in specialized courses to search for specialist literature and to use it for interpreting text passages independently.

Since good language skills are required to competently deal with Greek texts, special courses for expanding the vocabulary and grammar as well as the interpretation skills of the students are offered during the study programme.

In the subject-didactic courses the students acquire the ability to impart their professional knowledge and skills to the students in a professional way. They will get an insight into the didactics and methodology of Greek lessons and can gain first experience of teaching Greek during an internship.

* South Tyrolean teacher education students have to fulfil specific prerequisites, if they want to teach in South Tyrol. For information contact the Office for South Tyrolean Affairs https://www.uibk.ac.at/suedtirolagenden.

Expected Learning Outcomes

Thanks to their profound vocabulary and grammar skills, graduates are able to translate Greek texts. They have a detailed knowledge of Greek literature and are familiar with subject-specific working techniques and methods. They acquire knowledge in didactics and methodology of teaching Greek as well as the ability to convey content in an age-appropriate way and adapted to the needs of the individual students.

Future Prospects: Occupational Profiles and Career Opportunities

Graduates of the Bachelor’s Programme Secondary School Teacher Training (General Education) are admitted to the corresponding Master’s Programme and can provisionally start their teaching service in the chosen general education subjects in secondary schools to complete the Induction and Orientation Phases.
