Studies Induction and Orientation Stage (STEOP)
The Studies Induction and Orientation Stage (STEOP) requirements cease to be effective as of academic year 2014/2015 and no longer apply for students of this study programme.
Students who enrolled for this programme before 1 October 2014 (academic year 2014/2015) can repeat not successful completed courses which were designated in the curriculum as “STEOP courses” four times (= five examination attempts). As per Universities Act § 77 (2), previous attempts are to be counted among the number of total examination attempts permitted.
(1) The Studies Induction and Orientation Stage (STEOP), with a duration of one semester (30 ECTS-Credits), provides an overview of the study programme and its structure in order to give students an objective basis to assess their decision to pursue their chosen subject(s).
(2) During the Studies Induction and Orientation Stage, the following course examinations, which may be repeated twice, must be completed satisfactorily:
One course examination in the second chosen teaching subject and one course examination on the orientation unit, SL 2, 2 ECTS-Credits, of the educational training.
1. Greek Reading (SL 2, 3 ECTS-Credits)
2. Course from the Studies Induction and Orientation Phase of the second chosen teaching subject
3. Orientation unit (SL 2, 2 ECTS-Credits)
(3) A positive result (passing grade) on the examinations specified in Paragraph 2 permits students to attend all courses and take all examinations following the Studies Induction and Orientation Stage (STEOP) and to write a bachelor's thesis as described in the curriculum. The registration requirements specified by the curriculum must be met.

Qualification Profile and Skills
The Secondary School Teacher Accreditation Programme aims at a preparatory vocational and scientific education for the certification of secondary school teachers with subject-specific, didactic, and pedagogical qualifications as well as school teaching practice. A scientifically sound basic education provides graduates with the necessary competences in order to work in their future occupational fields in a flexible and professional manner.
Main focus of the Secondary School Teacher Accreditation Programme for the subject of Greek is on Greek Literature, which is the cradle of some of the most important texts of European culture. Literature is read in original language and in translations. Main focus is on authors of different genres and epochs like e.g. Homer, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Plato and Plutarch.
Other important aspects of the studies include Greek language (skills acquired in secondary schools or elsewhere are improved), the effects of the ancient world on European culture (reception history), theories of modern literature and neighbouring disciplines like history, archaeology and philosophy.
In subject didactic courses students are prepared for their future as teachers of Greek. They gain e.g. insights into the latest teaching and learning methods or the basics of testing and assessing. Since the studies are incorporated in the "Innsbruck Model of Foreign Language Teacher Education" (IMoF) that has been awarded with the European Language Label for innovative language projects, some subject didactic courses have cross-linguistic character, this means they are attended by students studying different languages.
The pedagogical education and school teaching practice
- imparts graduates with a well-founded knowledge of secondary school teaching and learning in order to efficiently manage their teaching practice and help to assist and support the learning and educational processes of their pupils;
- enables graduates to evaluate and further develop their teaching practice based on proven methodology;
- allows graduates to understand school as an institution and organization in order to actively shape and develop school.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Graduates are academically educated experts in fostering personal development processes, arranging learning situations, accompanying learning processes, and assessing learning outcomes.
They acquire a sound knowledge in the areas of Greek Philology and Greek Subject Didactics. Graduates are able to demonstrate their competences in these areas and where they overlap with archaeology and pedagogy by formulating arguments and supporting theories in a scientifically correct manner as well as solving problems in an innovative manner.
Future Prospects: Occupational Profiles and Career Opportunities
Graduates of a Secondary School Teacher Accreditation Programme are in particular teaching at lower and upper secondary schools. The qualifications acquired in the Teacher Accreditation Programme provide access to other vocational fields in the study programme, the educational sector, social and youth work, and communication.
