Master's program German as a foreign and second language
The content on this page was translated automatically.
Since students who complete the Master's program in German as a Foreign and Second Language will either work in the practical professional field of teaching German as a foreign and second language or seek further qualification (doctorate) for work in higher education (mostly at their home universities), the program refers to both a professional field-related and a science-oriented demand. Therefore, the training focuses on the theory and practice of foreign and second language German teaching as well as its empirical research.
