After the B.Ed. Biology degree program, you will complete the course of study with a Master of Education in Biology. This qualifies you to teach the subject of biology at a Gymnasium and you will be well prepared for this! In the 3rd semester you will find a wide range of practical modules from the modern fields of biology taught at JGU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A master of education degree also gives you the opportunity to apply your subject-specific as well as teaching and communication skills to other professional fields, such as nature and environmental education. You can also pursue further academic qualifications and a doctorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-button>\n\n\n
