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 Latin teaches students the necessary knowledge and skills for competently teaching Latin at secondary schools.

The study programme focuses on Roman literature. The students not only get an overview of the epochs of Roman 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.

The living on of Roman literature in European culture is another focus of the study programme. Therefore, the study of Latin texts of the Middle Ages and especially the Modern Age is an essential part of the programme. Since good language skills are required to competently deal with Latin 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 Latin lessons and can gain first experience of teaching Latin during an internship.
