Gain hands-on experience.
During both your undegraduate and graduate studies, you will be able to get to know everyday school life and gain some first hands-on experience. Video seminars, teaching-and-learning laboratories, and other practice-oriented seminars will equip you with the necessary knowledge and skills.

Optimal training for your teaching career.
At Freie Universität Berlin, you will receive relevant theoretical knowledge that you can apply in the classroom and go through guided school internships. Programs such as "Lehramt Plus" can also provide you with additional useful tips.

The Dahlem School of Education (DSE) is central to the Freie Universität's teacher training and education program. It is responsible for organizing, coordinating, and developing a practice-oriented and research-based teacher training program that is in accordance with federal and state regulations.

The Berlin Senate for Education, Youth, and Family provides detailed information on how to enter the teaching career path. There you can also find further information about the recognition of foreign teaching degrees and alternative ways of becoming a teacher (“Quereinstieg”).
