Program overview
What is the degree program about?
In the study of subject-specific science, the primary aim is to acquire knowledge in the various sub-areas of Spanish (linguistics, literature and cultural studies). The teaching degree program is therefore largely the same as the Bachelor’s program. The areas of subject didactics and educational sciences are added.
The scientific study of language, literature and culture is of great importance (about 50% of the course).
Practical language skills are taught in separate courses (grammar, vocabulary, phonetics, translation, etc.).
There is a reduced scientific training, a more in-depth language practical training as well as subject didactic and educational science study components.
