Bachelor's degree in teaching (French, Italian, Spanish)
The Bachelor's degree programme in Secondary School Teaching French, Italian or Spanish provides a solid foundation to prepare you for a career as a language teacher at secondary schools. It is a compulsory combination programme, i.e. it must be combined with a second teaching subject. This can also be a second Romance language. The BA teacher training programme lasts 4 years (8 semesters) and comprises a total of 240 ECTS-Credits (100 ECTS-Credits per teaching subject + 40 ECTS-Credits in Educational Science). This is followed by the 2-year Master's degree programme in Teacher Education. The subject-specific part of the curriculum comprises language proficiency (37.5 ECTS), linguistics (15 ECTS), literature (15 ECTS), regional and cultural studies (5 ECTS) and academic foundations (2.5 ECTS). In addition to this subject-specific training, the Faculty of Teacher Education also teaches the necessary didactic, educational science and practical teaching skills. In the teacher training programme, a Bachelor's thesis must be written in each teaching subject. In Romance Studies, this is written in the respective foreign language.

If you are studying to become a teacher, you will also attend a number of courses organised by the "Faculty of Teacher Education" during the course of your studies - in addition to the Romance studies courses and those of your other teacher training subject, namely
- on the one hand, general education courses organised by the ILS (Institute for Teacher Education and School Research). The first of these courses are already relevant in the 1st semester and are even part of the STEOP, so you should definitely attend them in the 1st semester - so register for them in good time via Online course catalogue!
- on the other hand, subject-specific didactic courses from the subjects you are studying, which are offered by the IFD (Institute for Specialised Didactics), in the case of your Romance subject more precisely by the DiS (Didactics of languages) / IMoF (Innsbruck model of foreign language didactics) department. The relevant courses are not yet relevant for you in the 1st semester, but are normally attended from the 2nd semester at the earliest.
