Admission requirements
The formal requirement for admission to the Master's program in Primary School Pedagogy is a relevant bachelor's degree in the field of education or an equivalent academic degree (e.g. Magister or Diplom).
The following documents are required for your application:
Curriculum vitae Proof of university entrance qualification (general qualification for university entrance, etc.) Proof of a university degreeDetails
Your lateral entry into teaching
With the Master's program in Primary Education (M.A.), you have the opportunity to become a teacher as a lateral entrant. This is possible due to the regulation on lateral entry into the teaching profession in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania from July 4, 2022. After completing your M.A. in Primary Education, you can enter the part-time preparatory service (Section 3 (2) SchulSEVO M-V) through an individual examination by the Institute for Quality Development Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. However, the assessment after your graduation is the sole responsibility of the relevant authority (currently IQMV).
Part-time preparatory service – what is it?
You can complete the part-time preparatory service as a teacher without a teaching qualification if you meet the necessary requirements (assessed by the Institute for Quality Development M-V after you have completed your master's degree). You will complete this after 24 months with the Second State Examination and thus receive the qualification of a teaching post. After completing the in-service preparatory service, you will be on an equal footing with regularly trained teachers who have completed a teacher training course (1st state examination) and a teaching internship (2nd state examination).
Important:
The bachelor's and master's programs at the FHM are not equivalent to the 1st state examination or a Master of Education at universities. The FHM takes a different approach, which, after an individual examination by the authorities (IQMV), enables you to become a teacher. With the degree (M.A. Primary Education), we create the conditions for access to the acquisition of a teaching qualification via the aforementioned lateral entry regulation.
Your fields of activity after graduation could be:
Teaching at primary schools Specialists and managers for primary schools Research and science Educational counseling
