In combination with another subject, students can finish their Teaching Degree for Secondary Education I & II in German. In addition to subject-specific modules, didactic courses must also be taken.

In addition to basic training in fields that are essential for teaching, such as mechanics, thermodynamics and optics, students must also deal with newer teaching topics such as theoretical physics, solid state and quantum physics. Further, specific courses train skills for teaching experiments.

After partaking in an internship for a whole semester, the degree is concluded with a bachelor's thesis.

In the bachelor teaching degree Mathematics and Physics in Combination, students have the opportunity to study these academically intertwined disciplines together. The structure of this program fosters the synergy between the fields, preparing future teachers to apply these connections in their path as teachers.

In mathematics, fundamental mathematical disciplines such as calculus, algebra, as well as probability theory and statics are covered. In physics, the curriculum focuses on the general concepts of experimental physics.
The disciplines are supplemented by courses in physics education and educational sciences.

This teaching degree is only available in German.

The master's degree in physics teaching for German secondary education I and II builds on the bachelor's degree in teaching previously completed at the UP. Studying with a bachelor's degree in teaching from another university is possible if the institute can determine  equal value in the previous bachelors degree. Starting with modules in physics and another teaching subject, the knowledge in the teaching-oriented research areas will be expanded. In addition, an elective module in a specialized scientific field must be completed.

During the master's degree, the student must choose to specialize in secondary education I or II. In both cases, a psycho-diagnostic internship and a school internship must be completed at a school in Brandenburg or a partner school abroad. The degree is then concluded with a master's thesis.

The masters teaching degree Mathematics and Physics in Combination builds upon the content of the corresponding bachelors teaching degree. Starting in the winter semester, students will deepen the knowledge and skills they acquired during their bachelor’s program in subject-specific pedagogy, educational science, and inclusive education.

The master’s program concludes with a teaching practicum and a master’s thesis. This master is only available in the German language.
