The Module studies “Modulstudien Naturale – Naturwissenschaften und Nachhaltigkeit” is not a degree course leading to a professional qualification. Rather, it is an orientation semester that concludes with a certificate.
Further information can be found below or on the Modulstudien Naturale website (in German).
The Bavarian State Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs publishes a teacher requirement forecast at regular intervals. This shows how many teachers are likely to be recruited or needed for which types of school in the coming years.
