In the Master of Education degree program, students complete an internship semester consisting of:  

  • a five‑month school internship (20 weeks)  
  • It is recommended to prepare for this internship during the first master’s semester and complete it in the second semester.

During the internship semester, students gain deep insights into everyday school life and connect their theoretical knowledge with hands‑on experience. The internship is prepared and supervised at three learning sites: the university, the Center for Practical Teacher Training, and the school.
