Specialist expertise
The degree programme provides students with in-depth knowledge of the Latin language and of Roman literature, culture and society in a European context. Students not only acquire language skills, but also a reflective specialised knowledge that makes them sought-after experts in the field of Latin philology.

Practical training
A central element of the degree programme is the integration of practice-oriented modules that focus on teacher training. Practical teaching methods and content optimally prepare students for their future work as teachers.

Committed teaching culture
The courses are characterised by a lively culture of discussion and close cooperation between teaching staff and students. This environment promotes the exchange of ideas and supports the individual development of students.

Personalised support
Personal support and advice for students are an integral part of the degree programme. In addition to consultation hours with the teaching staff, extensive counselling services are available to provide targeted study orientation.

Excursions into antiquity
The degree programme includes study-integrated excursions that enable students to visit ancient sites. These practical experiences offer a first-hand experience of classical culture and history and promote an understanding of historical contexts.
There are particularly good job prospects in primary schools, secondary schools, comprehensive schools, and elementary schools, as well as in integrated special education. There is also a high demand for teachers in STEM subjects (with the exception of biology). Nevertheless, it is important to keep in mind that you will be teaching this material for a long time. You should therefore be interested in what you teach and study subjects that you are passionate about.Considering the age of the students in the respective school types is also helpful when making this decision.
