Our bachelor’s degree programme in Inclusive Education qualifies you for this exciting task!

Your career prospects

Special needs educator

Special needs educators work in all areas of social life (care, education, work, housing, leisure) in which participation opportunities need to be (re)established for people with disabilities and disadvantages. Inclusion demands the right to unrestricted participation in all areas of life for all individuals. :-) 

Includes

State recognition

Your degree qualification in Inclusive Education is automatically accompanied by state recognition as a “Special Needs Educator”.

Against this background, your degree programme involves a large amount of practical work, namely 1,800 hours, which are integrated into the course across eight modules. This includes two extensive internship periods: one in Germany and one abroad.

Our Praxisreferat (Internship Office) will support and advise you throughout your internship.

Good to know

As a university with an inclusive approach, we offer exceptions with regard to time spent abroad for students with impairments or chronic diseases, students who care for relatives or students in other special circumstances.

What you will learn

On the one hand, your university studies will enable you to consistently develop the ‘classic’ skills and abilities of special needs education – for example diagnostics and the pedagogical and didactic structuring of care and educational processes – while considering inclusive aspects. On the other hand, you will explore community-oriented concepts that facilitate the involvement of every individual.

Against this background, your studies will focus on a wide variety of areas, for example:

  • Ethical issues
  • Acquisition of inclusive pedagogical and didactic decision-making skills
  • Diagnostics as the representation of social development situations and learning backgrounds
  • Analysing social spaces, policy areas and much more
