About this program

The Master of Education/degree programme component Chinese at Heidelberg University prepares students for competence- and communication-oriented teaching duties in Germany. Graduates become disseminators of China-competencies in schools. The degree programme component is aimed at graduates of the BA programme Chinese studies or East Asian studies (with a specialisation in Chinese studies) who consider their main strengths to be in didactic and pedagogical work. Chinese studies in Heidelberg focusses on the cultural and societal examination of Chinese societies, including their historical development, modern manifestations, regional interrelationships, and material manifestations. The Master of education/degree programme component Chinese is a consecutive degree programme that is based on a preceding BA degree programme. The aim is to enable students to gain in-depth insights into the associated topics and issues. To this end, the academic programme primarily encompasses seminars and reading courses in which students hone their analytical and didactic skills on the basis of associated case studies. These are complemented by tools courses, practice classes and a colloquium to ensure that, in addition to subject-specific skills, students also acquire the didactic competencies required to convey the Chinese language. The degree programme component Chinese (Chinese studies) in the Master of Education in Heidelberg is characterised by a wide range of electives and compulsory electives. The (compulsory) electives pertain to premodern and/or modern specialisations in the various lectures and courses.
