The bachelor’s degree program is divided into three phases, the teacher training program into four: In the first two semesters, you will acquire a broad foundation in linguistic practice and linguistics as well as in literary studies and the culture of antiquity. In the second study phase, you expand and differentiate your subject-specific and methodological competencies. In the third phase, you specialize in a selected academic area. S

You study Latin philology as a first or second subject in combination with another subject.

The teacher training program in Latin is largely identical to the bachelor’s degree program in Latin Philology, but as a prospective Gymnasium teacher you will also deal with didactics and educational science and take specialization modules in prose and poetry after the sixth semester.

The bachelor’s degree program in Latin Philology provides skills for a wide range of fields of activity, such as in the media, journalism, library and publishing, adult education and extracurricular forms of foreign language teaching and at the intersection of business and culture.

If you have studied Latin for the teaching profession and graduated with the first state examination, then a career as a Gymnasium teacher is open to you after a two-year traineeship and the second state examination.

The Master’s program in Ancient Languages and Cultures allows you to deepen your academic skills and open up further career opportunities.
