Students studying to become teachers
Familiar atmosphere
I decided to study to become a teacher at vocational schools at the University of Siegen in 2019. I had been fascinated by the English language since I was at school. I was fascinated by its sound, linguistics and literature. And now I wanted to pass this enthusiasm on to others.
However, this also raised the question of a second subject. After careful research, I finally decided on the subject of Catholic religion, which immediately fascinated me. Due to the wide range of possible combinations of subjects at the University of Siegen, my wish was also possible without any problems. What's more, many of the subjects are NC-free. Even sport is made possible as a school subject thanks to the cooperation between the University of Siegen and the Cologne Sports University.
During my first semester, I was particularly impressed by the friendly atmosphere at the university. As a student here, you are not just reduced to your matriculation number, but are perceived and valued as an individual personality.
This is also reflected in the support services on offer. There are many institutions at the University of Siegen that are always happy to help you with various problems. Do you have problems with your timetable or questions about your studies? In the Lernwerkstatt Lehrer*innenbildung, where I am allowed to work as a SHK myself, we always have an open ear for you. Or would you like to gain further qualifications during your studies? The LehramtPLUS program always has fascinating workshops and lectures in store for you.
But the practical part is not neglected here either. The aptitude and orientation internship, the professional field internship and the practical semester give you the opportunity to gain valuable experience in everyday school life at various points during your studies.
I can definitely recommend studying at the University of Siegen and look forward to welcoming new faces to the campus.
