English, M.Edu.
The English course for students studying to be teachers as part of a Bachelor's and Master's course is based on the guiding principle of the curricular standards and the goals of teacher training at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. Graduates should be able to teach English as a foreign language in a competent and clear manner that is appropriate for the age of the pupils. In order to achieve this goal, the basic components of American Studies, British Studies, and English Linguistics are taught in specialist and teaching-oriented events.

Programme selection →About the programme
The reformed curriculum of Bachelor of Education (English) is a modular-based and practice-oriented course, which qualifies students to continue on to a Master's degree program and includes teaching internships and educational science components. An integral part of the teacher training course is the extended stay abroad in an English-speaking country, lasting at least three months, which is intended primarily to expose students to different cultures and enable them to better understand the complex social processes and interactions. The Department of English and Linguistics at the Johannes Gutenberg University offers a wide range of exchange programs with universities in Great Britain, Ireland, USA, and Canada. The main features of the teacher training Bachelor's course in English are:

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application directly to the university until 15.11Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
