Chemistry Education for Secondary Schools

About the programme

The master’s study programme prepares future chemistry teachers for teaching at secondary schools. Studies combine expertise in chemistry with pedagogy, psychology, and modern didactics. As the programme is delivered part-time through block learning sessions approximately eight times per semester (on Fridays and Saturdays), it can be easily combined with other study or work commitments.

Programme content

Students will attend core courses focused on:

  • chemistry didactics,
  • didactics of integrated science education,
  • direct experience in schools.

career prospects

Graduates can teach chemistry at secondary schools, multi-year gymnázia, or the upper stages of primary schools. They are skilled in effectively popularising science, accurately assessing their pupils’ level of knowledge, and motivating them to develop an interest in the subject being taught.
