Module selection from the 4th/5th subject related semester onwards
- Major subject Integrated Studies for Primary Education ("Sachunterricht")
In the first three semesters, the program consists of three compulsory modules: "Introduction to Integrated Studies for Primary Education ("Sachunterricht")", "Natural Sciences" and "Social Sciences".
From the fourth subject related semester onwards, an individual focus is set. Depending on your interests, you can choose whether you would like to deepen your studies in the area of social sciences or natural sciences. To choose your individual profile, simply complete the corresponding Modules; no registration is required (please note that there may be restrictions on the number of participants).
The specialization is specifically in one of the reference subjects Biology, Chemistry, History, Social Sciences or Physics by studying one of the following Modules:
- 20-SU12-B Biology and its Didactics in Integrated Studies for Primary Education ("Sachunterricht").
- 21-SU12-C Chemistry and its Didactics in Integrated Studies for Primary Education ("Sachunterricht")
- 22-SU12-G History and its Didactics in Primary Education ("Sachunterricht")
- 28-SU12-P Physics and its Didactics in Physical Education ("Sachunterricht")
- 30-SU12-S Social Sciences and their Didactics in Primary Education ("Sachunterricht")
As a further module for individual focus, you will study "69-SU11 Integrated Studies for Primary Education ("Sachunterricht") reconstructed from a subject didactics perspective". Here you have to take (among other courses) either one course of the type "Didactics of social studies: theory, diagnosis and support" or "Didactics of natural sciences: theory, diagnosis and support". In this case, you must study the same area of social or natural sciences as in SU12, but a different reference subject. So, for example, if you studied Chemistry as part of SU12, you must choose Biology or Physics as part of SU11. If you studied History as part of SU12, you must choose Social Sciences as part of SU11.
This means that if you take the elective module 22-SU12G or 30-SU12S, you must take the element "Didactics of Teaching in the Field from a Social Science Subject Perspective: Theory, Diagnosis and Support" in Module 69-SU11 and take the module examination in this element. In addition, two different reference subjects (history and social sciences, respectively) must be chosen in SU12 and SU11.
If the elective module 20-SU12B, 21-SU12C or 28-SU12P is taken, the element "Didactics of Teaching in Physical Education from a Science Subject Perspective: Theory, Diagnosis and Promotion" must be taken in Module 69-SU11 and the module examination must be taken in this element. In addition, two different reference subjects (Biology, Chemistry or Physics) must be chosen in SU12 and SU11.If module 20-SU12B is chosen, there is also a special feature: one of the Modules 20-ORB* must also be studied. Unlike all other modules of the type SU12, the module 20-SU12B does not comprise 10, but only 5 LP. The "missing" 5 LP are covered by studying one of the Modules 20-ORB*.
An overview of all Modules can be found in the study information.
Outlook: Master of Education
In the Master of Education, depending on your choice in the Bachelor, you will again choose a reference subject: If you have chosen a reference subject from the area of social sciences in the Bachelor, you will study with a reference to natural sciences in the Master of Education and vice versa. In this case, the same Modules of the type SU12 as in the Bachelor are available for selection.
- Subject Integrated Studies for Primary Education ("Sachunterricht")
Bachelor
In the first four semesters, the program consists of three compulsory modules: "Introduction to Integrated Studies for Primary Education ("Sachunterricht")", "Natural Sciences" and "Social Sciences".
From the fifth subject related semester onwards, an individual focus is set. Depending on your interests, you can choose whether you would like to deepen your studies in the area of social sciences or natural sciences. To choose your individual profile, simply complete the corresponding Modules; no registration is required (please note that there may be restrictions on the number of participants).

- 30-SU12-S Social Sciences and their Didactics in the Teaching of Physical Education
If the module 20-SU12B is chosen, there is a special feature: one of the Modules 20-ORB* must be studied in addition. Unlike all other Modules of the type SU12, the Module 20-SU12B does not comprise 10, but only 5 LP. The "missing" 5 LP are covered by studying one of the Modules 20-ORB*.

Master of Education
In the Master of Education, depending on the choice in the Bachelor, a reference subject is chosen again: If you have chosen a reference subject from the area of social sciences in the Bachelor, you will study with a natural science reference in the Master of Education and vice versa. The social science or natural science reference is established here by choosing the element "Didactics of Teaching in the Social Sciences: Theory, Diagnosis and Support" or "Didactics of Teaching in the Natural Sciences: Theory, Diagnosis and Support" within the framework of the module "69-SU13 Integrated Studies for Primary Education ("Sachunterricht") reconstructed in terms of subject didactics".
