What does it mean to be a teacher?
Are you thinking about becoming a teacher? The website for teachers in Hamburg, Lehrer*in Hamburg, has a wide variety of information on the job profile of teacher, on teacher training studies, and on the subject of schooling.
Check your expectations with the Erwartungscheck Grundschullehramt, offered by the Faculty of Education at Universität Hamburg, to see if a teacher training degree matches your motivation, interests, and skills. This expectation check is a mandatory component of the enrollment process for the primary school teaching degree at Universität Hamburg.
Career counseling for teachers: Career Counseling for Teachers helps you decide whether to take up a teacher training degree or not. In addition to information on the teaching profession, they help you to reflect on your experience with children and young people to date. This lets you make a well-founded decision on whether the profession is right for you. You will need to demonstrate that you have completed the self-assessment offered by the Career Counseling for Teachers team when you apply for a teacher training degree program online.
Group counseling for prospective students (of all teaching degrees) take place every 3 weeks. Find further details on the Campus Center pages.
The Münchener Zentrum für Lehrerbildung (Munich center for teacher education) provides an online tool for self-exploration with their Selbsterkundung zum Lehrerbruf mit Filmimpulsen (Self-exploration of the teaching profession with film impulses).
Study requirements and helpful support for studying STEM subjects
The new MINTFIT math test is now available for all prospective STEM students.
In two 45 minute tests, you can find out which areas of mathematics you are best suited to. Your results will be broken down for you by subject immediately after you submit the test. You will receive additional recommendations on the content that you should revise before you begin your studies and some links to the relevant chapters in the OMB+ and viaMINT online courses. Get started with your STEM studies the right way.
- Online-Mathematics Bridge Course OMB+ (based on the Cooperation Schule-Hochschule working group [cosh] list of minimum requirements for mathematics [see above] created by 12 German universities.)
- viaMINT— video-based interactive preparatory courses for STEM subjects (created by HAW Hamburg)
