For triple didactics constellations, you may not additionally choose your teaching subject as a didactics subject. The rule that a subject may not be selected twice holds true also for triple-didactics constellations.
There are no aptitude tests for the didactics subjects for music, art or physical education.
| Teaching subject | Didactics subjects ('triple didactics') |
German German as a Second Language English Geography History Catholic Religious Education Art (aptitude test) Mathematics Civics Physical Education
(aptitude test) | 1st didactics subject: German If you are already studying German as a teaching subject, you will take one of the following subjects: German as a Second Language, English, Geography, History, Catholic Religious Education or Civics. |
2nd didactics subject: Mathematics If you are already studying Mathematics as a teaching subject, you will take one of the following subjects: German as a Second Language, English, Geography, History, Catholic Religious Education or Civics. |
3rd didactics subject: Art, Music or Physical Education1 If Art is your teaching subject, you can choose German as a Second Language, English, Geography, History, Catholic Religious Education, Music, Civics or Physical Education as your third didactics subject. If you are studying Physical Education as a teaching subject, you can choose German as a Second Language, English, Geography, History, Catholic Religious Education, Music, Civics or Art. |
The following rules apply in principle to the combinations of didactics subjects:
- You may not choose your teaching subject as one of the three didactics subjects.
- You must choose three different didactics subjects.
- If you have chosen German or Didactics of German as a Second Language as a teaching subject you may not choose either subject as a didactics subject.
In total, therefore, you choose four subjects: one teaching subject and three different didactics subjects. There are no aptitude tests for the didactics subjects for Music, Art or Physical Education.
The following subject combinations are possible:
| Teaching subject | Didactics of a group of subjects at secondary school (didactics of three subjects) |
