Application for the 1st academic semester Master Master of Education: the Supplementary Teaching Programme

Heidelberg University is offering the option of studying a third subject for the teaching degree for Gymnasium secondary schools in the scope of supplementary Master courses. 

Please note: In accordance with a change in the general guidelines of the Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs for teaching degrees (Rahmen-VO KM), there will be two “degree options” for the extension subject in the Master of Education from the winter semester 2024/25: 

  •  As before, it will still be possible to complete the extension subject with the degree “Master of Education” (M.Ed.) by writing a Master's thesis. 
  •  It is also possible to complete the extension subject with a certificate (instead of the Master's degree). In this case, it is not necessary to write the Master's thesis in the extension subject.


At the time of application, students must either be enrolled in a polyvalent Bachelor course (2 subjects, 50% each) with teaching degree option or in the Master of Education profile ‘teaching degree Gymnasium’ at Heidelberg University. Teachers already working in that job with a completed state examination or Master of Education may also apply for a university place. The supplementary subject can only be completed following completion of the Master of Education degree (or an equivalent one, e.g. 1st state examination). 

Please check our Study Programme Finder to verify that your desired degree programme components are eligible in the Master of Education at Heidelberg University. The Stuy Programme Finder will also provide information tailored to your application profile and specific to your degree programme
