Study Catholic Religion - Teacher Education Academic Secondary Education [Gymnasium] in Siegen (2026/27)

Studying Catholic Religion – Teaching Subject at Secondary Schools as an international student prepares you to teach faith, ethics, and religious culture to adolescents in a reflective and age-appropriate way. The program combines Catholic theology, biblical studies, church history, ethics, philosophy of religion, and interreligious dialogue with subject-specific pedagogy, adolescent psychology, and classroom management. You learn how to address questions about meaning, identity, justice, and coexistence in a pluralistic society and how to design lessons that encourage discussion and critical thinking rather than rote learning. Germany and other European study destinations offer structured teacher-training programs with school placements and close links between universities, churches, and schools.
