Teach Civics & Social Sciences
The Master’s programme in Social Sciences combines theory with practice. One day will be devoted to lectures and tutorials, while the next day you’ll be teaching a secondary school class under the guidance of an experienced teacher. You will not only acquire new knowledge but you will also learn how to transfer knowledge effectively.
Civics & Social Sciences
Civics and Social Sciences play a special role in the secondary school curriculum. They are the focus of political education; they are about helping pupils become democratic citizens. They encompass political participation among the youth, democracy, citizenship, and standards and values. Our Master’s programme will teach you how to make these complex issues appealing and accessible to a young audience.
