Description
This master's programme prepares you to teach the German language and literature to the higher classes of Dutch higher secondary and tertiary education (HAVO, VWO, and HBO in Dutch). Instead of spending a great deal of time in class, you will be spending most of your time in front of it, teaching teens and young adults at the school where you work. The combination of one day a week at HU, and the rest of the week actually teaching makes for an ideal combination.
You are prepared to teach the German language and literature to the higher classes of Dutch higher secondary and tertiary education (HAVO, VWO, and HBO). You can also develop into a department head or team leader. Furthermore, you have acquired a critical view of education and are full of ideas on how to improve it.

A Bachelor's degree in Education in German, or
