English

The program provides the academic and subject-specific teaching foundations necessary for pursuing a teaching credential in special education with a focus on English. The English field of study explores the English language, along with English and American literature, culture, society, and history. It also includes literature from other countries where English-language works have emerged. A key focus is on how to effectively teach these topics to students, drawing from insights in English language and literature didactics as well as language teaching research.

This degree program has unrestricted admission.

For this degree program, an aptitude test is required. If you choose a degree program or subject that requires an aptitude test, you’ll need to register for it directly with the respective department.

To enroll, you’ll need one of the following:

• A passed aptitude test in English (Entrance Test)

Or alternatively:

• An average of 11 or more points in English on your high school diploma. This average is calculated from the grades on your semester reports during the qualification phase and the grade achieved in the English advanced course in your final exams. The diploma must be no older than two years.

Or alternatively:

• Proof of passing an English language test equivalent to the Entrance Test (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge First). Information about tests generally considered equivalent to the Entrance Test at the IEAS can be found on the IEAS website.

One of these language certificates must first be recognized and officially confirmed by the Institute for English and American Studies (IEAS).

The language test results must not be older than two years at the time of application. Exceptions may be granted by the IEAS management for valid reasons.

The IEAS will issue a letter confirming a B2 level of English proficiency. This letter must be submitted along with your application documents to the Registrar’s Office, either at the time of application or no later than enrollment. Enrollment for additional degree programs leading to your desired qualification remains unaffected.

If you pass the aptitude test, you’ll receive confirmation from the relevant department stating that you’ve successfully completed the test.

You can enroll directly in the degree program through the online application within the application deadline, provided you meet the admission requirements. If additional documentation is needed, you will be informed at the end of the online application process.
