Latin (M.Ed.)

Course description

The subject of Latin paves the way to the ancient Greek language and literature and their reception from the aspects of literary and cultural studies and related questions. The programme of studies offers not only in-depth, subject-didactic literary and cultural instruction in Latin, but also didactic preparation in terms of linguistic, literary and cultural studies for teaching at secondary schools (grammar schools or integrated schools). The objective of the Master’s degree programme in Latin Philology leading to a “Master of Education” (M.E.) degree is a scientific qualification for teaching Latin at secondary schools.
