Greek - Teacher Education Academic Secondary Education [Gymnasium] Universities in Germany (2026/27)

Studying Greek to become a high school teacher means giving students direct access to the origins of European thought. As a Greek teacher, you read texts with young people that were written over two thousand years ago and have lost none of their power to this day: Homer's epics of war and homecoming, Plato's dialogues on truth and justice, Sophocles' tragedies on human failure and fate. Greek is the language in which philosophy, democracy, historiography, and natural science originated—those who master it understand not only texts, but also the roots of our culture.
