Teaching German

KU Scouts

Our KU Scouts are studying exactly what interests you – and provide you with honest insights straight from their everyday uni life.

German allows me to discover language and literature from new perspectives, while Geography shows how closely people, the environment, and society are interconnected. The combination of in-depth academic study, exciting field trips, and practical teacher training is what makes studying at the KU so special to me.

Teaching German

How have language and literature changed over time? How can complex linguistic and literary concepts be conveyed in a way that is easy to understand? Anyone with a passion for language, literature, and teaching German will find that the teaching degree program in German provides the ideal foundation for a future career in school teaching.

Admission & application

This degree program has no admission restriction—you do not need to submit an application. Simply enroll directly through the KU university portal in August or September. If you earned your university entrance qualification abroad, please also submit your preliminary examination documentation by July 15—also through the same portal.

Campus Eichstätt

Eichstätt combines a Baroque old town with canoe trips on the Altmühl River, open-air movies in the summer, and festivals like the Altstadtfest or the Lichternacht—here, everyday student life meets a genuine zest for life.

Accommodation and living

Finding a place to live is part of planning for uni – whether it’s a dorm, a shared apartment, or your own apartment. Anyone coming to Eichstätt or Ingolstadt to attend uni should start looking for housing early.

Financing your studies

Students at the KU finance their studies in various ways – from BAföG to scholarships to part-time jobs. You can find an overview of all the options on the page about financing your studies.

Uni life

Whether it's culture or sports, the academic year is filled with a wide variety of festivals and events. Unifest, Dies Academicus, the Wiesncup, and many more: at the KU, celebrating and community are an integral part of student life.
