Provide proof of at least 36 credit points in Educational Sciences, including an inductive teaching placement lasting at least 1 month and at least 4 weeks of professional experience, either extra-curricular or in-school experience, as part of the Bachelor's degree, in accordance with Section 7 LZV (German Teacher Training Enrolment Regulations), 5. Provide evidence of a Bachelor's thesis amounting to at least 10 credit points, and 6.

For the subjects of Art, Music and Sport, there must also be a clearly defined separate grade for subject-related practical Bachelor's studies. This is an admission requirement. The submission of evidence of these graded accomplishments is assessed as part of the course and subject-specific admission requirements. For admission to the Master's degree course, knowledge of 2 foreign languages must also be demonstrated, generally with a qualification for admission to higher education. Applicants with a first language other than German who have gained their qualification for admission to higher education in German only need to provide proof that they are competent in one other language (at least level A2 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). For admission to the degree course variants English, French, History, Catholic Religious Studies and Spanish, the Latinum (Latin language examination) is recommended. For admission to the degree course variant in Philosophy, the Latinum or Graecum (Latin or Greek language examination) is recommended. For admission to the degree course variant in Protestant Religious Education, the Graecum and either the Latinum or Hebraicum (Greek, Latin, Hebrew language examination) is recommended. For admission to the degree course variants English, French or Spanish and combinations of these degree courses, a minimum period of 3 months studying abroad must also be demonstrated. Stays abroad that have been completed before enrolment on the previous Bachelor's degree course can be recognised if the stay took place not more than 6 years ago at the time of enrolment on the Master of Education Teaching Qualification for Intermediate Schools, German Lower Secondary Schools and Comprehensive Schools. It is recommended that the stay abroad must be completed in a country in which the language studied is a national language or official language. In the case of a combination of the named degree course variants, another stay abroad of a similar length is recommended.
