Study Programme of the Master of Teaching: STEM
2024-2025
Compulsory stem
6 ECTS-credits to be taken in the second year of your programme.
History of Science and Society
Teaching component
You take the teaching methodology with practice sessions and the in-school training: completion of your advanced and your complementary module and the in-school/company training: specialization. If you haven't taken "Powerful learning environments" in your preparatory programme, you take this in the Master.
