During the part-time programme, you will complete internships at several points. This allows you to experience what it means to be a teacher or artist educator in real-life settings. You will apply what you have learned, develop your pedagogical skills and start building your professional network. The programme will help you find an internship that matches your interests, experience and ambitions. You will do your internship alongside your regular study days and arrange the exact schedule together with your internship provider.
In your first year, you will do a short, exploratory internship in secondary education. You will get a glimpse of the teaching profession and discover whether it suits you. You will observe classes, support teachers and reflect on what you see. It is a chance to take your first steps into the field.
In your second year, you will do an internship in secondary education one or two days a week. You will teach lessons, design educational materials and practise classroom management and didactics. You will receive close guidance from lecturers in the programme as well as a school-based counsellor. This gives you a solid foundation in the basics of teaching.
In your third year, you will choose your own internship placement. You might do your internship at a school – or at a cultural organisation or museum. You will deepen your role as an educator: How do you share a story? How do you approach diversity and assessment? How can you design education that reflects your own vision?
In your final year, you will test your own educational design in a real-world context. This could be a lesson series, a game or another learning format you have created. You will choose an internship setting that suits your intended audience and explore how your design works in practice. This experience becomes the personal, practice-based foundation on which you complete your studies.
