Study program structure and content
The first semesters
In the first three semesters, you will learn the fundamentals of mathematics. Unlike in school, not only numeracy skills are important. The applicable rules of calculation and their properties are derived from fundamental assumptions, known as axioms, and are rigorously formulated and proven through definitions and theorems.
Your studies
The further course of study provides you with a broad overview of important areas of mathematics and a confident command of its tools. The teaching qualification includes several modules in educational sciences, which address questions of upbringing and education. In addition, you will complete a three-week orientation internship at a school during your studies.

Images from the study program
Get a glimpse of how the study program works:
The mathematics curriculum is mostly taught through lectures and accompanying exercises. In the lecture, the material is presented, which you then review and work through independently.
Weekly homework assignments help reinforce the material. These are discussed in study groups. Students are encouraged to work in small groups to discuss the material and overcome difficulties together.
In seminars, you learn to present mathematical content and communicate it effectively. You prepare a presentation on a given topic, deliver it, and, if required, develop it further in the form of a written assignment.
An important part of the study program is learning to program, which is taught in the course "Mathematical Programming for Secondary School Teacher Education" and later deepened during practical courses. Over the course of a semester, you work in small groups on several programming tasks from pure or applied mathematics and then present your solutions in a presentation.
