If you want to study at the Department of Education for one or two semesters and your university is part of our partnership network, then you are in the right place. The Department stands for the integration of different sub-disciplines within education sciences, as well as for socio-scientifically reflected and interdisciplinary research and teaching. Our institutes not only educate future teachers, but also professional actors for the entire field of education. It comprises five scientific units: the Institute of General Education, the Institute of Early Childhood and Primary Education, the Institute of Secondary Education, the Institute of Special Education, and the Institute of Social Pedagogy and Adult Education.
