Program overview
What is the degree program about?
There’s no question about it: Our cultural heritage is closely linked to the Latin language – the world language at the time of Roman antiquity, which still plays an important role today, especially in medicine, biology, law and theology.
If you would like to intensively study the Latin-speaking ancient cultural area and be able to scientifically examine this era, then the study of Latin Philology at FAU is just right for you.
And if you want to use your knowledge of Latin in the classroom later on, you can also study Latin for the teaching profession at grammar schools.
The teaching degree program is divided into three phases, the teacher training program into four: In the first two semesters you will acquire a broad basis in linguistic practice and linguistics as well as in literary studies and culture of the ancient world. In the second study phase, you expand and differentiate your subject-specific and methodological competencies. In the third phase you will specialize in a selected scientific area. Teacher training students will take specialization modules in the areas of prose and poetry after the sixth semester.
The teaching degree program in Latin is largely identical to the bachelor’s program in Latin Philology, but as a prospective Gymnasium teacher you will also deal with subject didactics and educational science.
