Application at TUK

A dual degree is defined as a programme in which two degrees are pursued in parallel in different degree programmes. The burdens of such studies are great and should be considered in advance and clarified, for example, in counselling interviews.

When applying, there is no separate field on the application form to enter a dual degree. Please make it clear on your application that dual enrollment is desired.

TUK offers various degree programmes graduating as Bachelor and Master of Education.These degrees are possible for the following types of schools:◾Vocational Schools◾Gymnasien [grammar school]◾Realschule Plus [secondary school]

In the Gymnasium and Realschule Plus degree programmes, you can choose the type of school during your studies. In the case of teacher training for vocational schools, on the other hand, this decision must be made upon application.
For a teacher training course, two subjects must be specified in the application. You will be automatically enrolled in the subject of educational sciences.


Information on the combination of subjects:
 Subject combinations

If your desired combination of subjects is not completely offered by TUK, you can check the possibility of studying in the University Association Southwest. Therefore, the second subject would have to be offered at one of the participating universities.
Teacher training at TUK is supervised by the Centre for Teacher Training.

On 16.07.1999, the universities of Kaiserslautern, Koblenz-Landau, Saarland and Trier agreed to intensify their cooperation in the areas of teaching and study, further education and research.

Under this agreement, students can attend not only courses at their home university, but also courses at the other three universities under the existing admission conditions. This is intended to enable students to take advantage of supplementary degree programmes. The enrolment regulations are designed in such a way that the students of the four universities can enrol at the partner universities by enrolling as secondary students. However, the semester ticket at the place of the second enrolment is not included.


Coursework and examinations will be mutually recognised once equivalence has been established. Please check with your home university's examination office beforehand.

If you have missed to enclose the annexe for the student chip card (with passport photo) with your application form, you can find it and more information about the chip card out here.
