Description

The Lehramt Erweiterungsfach leads to a further teaching qualification for a teaching position at public schools. The qualification is only valid in conjunction with a successfully completed Erstes Staatsexamen für das Lehramt or an equivalent qualification. If no Erstes Staatsexamen für das Lehramt has been successfully completed or an equivalent qualification exists, only one subject can be studied at the same time with the desired final goal of an extension examination.


Chemie deals with the structure, the characteristics, and the transformation of chemical substances. In the course of their studies, prospective teachers acquire the ability to give their students insight into the material composition of nature and the corresponding material processes. The specialist knowledge required here comprises the areas of General Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and handling hazardous substances.

Recommendation It is recommended to take up the Complimentary Teaching Degree Programme only after you have successfully studied your regular teaching degree programme and have gained a minimum of in total 90 CP in it already, in both subjects and in the Grundwissenschaften (Fundamental Studies) in a maximum of 6 semesters.
To help you organizing your Complimentary Teaching Degree Programme, the Centre for Teacher Education (Advisory for Teaching Programmes) offers individual counselling.

Teachers at Secondary Schools do not only teach their subjects but work within a greater pedagogical and organisational framework. They find positions not only at grammar schools (“Gymnasien”), but in different sectors of the widespread school system.

Valid statements on the future career perspectives are not easy to be made since they depend on a variety of factors, for example the range of subjects a teacher is able to teach. Other factors include the overall demographic development, political decisions and administrative regulations.
