  • The work placement is required for the degree programs Teaching at Primary Schools (L1), Teaching at Secondary Schools and Secondary Modern Schools (L2), Teaching at Grammar Schools (L3) and Teaching Special Education with a Focus on Inclusion (L5). This does not apply to students studying to teach at elementary school and secondary modern schools who started their teacher training after 2014 and before 2023.
