You must have a Bachelor of Education degree in the same subjects from a university in Rhineland-Palatinate or an equivalent degree from a university in Germany or abroad to apply for this master’s degree program. If you are applying with a university degree that is not fully equivalent to the required bachelor\u2019s examination, but which includes at least 140 credit points which correspond to it, you can still be admitted to the master’s degree program under the condition that you earn the missing examinations and coursework by the end of the first academic year. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

While JGU gives you the opportunity to gain practical experience through various school internships, there\u2019s more, too: You will also have the opportunity to teach pupils and test your teaching concepts in our teaching and learning lab. You can supervise pupils while working as a research assistant in our kids lab, in our particle physics master classes, and at other events (Girl\u2019s Day, Discovery Day) and carry out experiments with them, thus gaining additional important practical experience. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Master of Education in Physics program, followed by the teacher traineeship, is the classic path to the teaching profession<\/strong>. However, you also have other options after earning this degree: For example, you can work as an editor in textbook publishing houses<\/strong> or work in science communication<\/strong> and make research accessible to a broader audience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The application deadline is September 1<\/strong> for the winter semester and March 1<\/strong> for the summer semester. For applications for the 2027 summer semester, we are changing our system so that the application period will begin\u2014for this one time only\u2014as early as November. You can find all further information on enrollment and the application process on JGU\u2019s central websites<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have international transcripts, they must first be evaluated by the university. Please note that this process takes at least six weeks, but it can be initiated at any time of the year. You can find more information on the evaluation process here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-button>\n\n\n

In the first semester, you will deepen your knowledge of theoretical and experimental physics. From the second semester onwards, you will acquire further skills in subject didactics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the third semester, you will complete an internship; in the fourth semester, you will write your master's thesis and also take courses in the module \"Interdisciplinary Concepts\", which will teach you how to make connections between different areas of physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the four semesters of the master's degree program, you will be studying Education Studies as well as your second teaching subject.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
