Study programs
The range of courses offered by the Institute of Gerontology is defined by the Gerontology, Health and Care degree programme (B.A. and M.Ed.). As staged teacher training-related degree programmes, they ensure the professionalism and quality of future teachers at relevant vocational schools; to this end, they impart integrated subject-specific, subject-didactic, vocational pedagogical and educational science knowledge and skills as well as practical school experience.
