B.A. GERMAN EDUCATION

The BA German Education at the University of Education, Winneba is a degree that prepares you to teach German as a foreign language, typically in senior high schools. Because it sits in the Faculty of Foreign Languages Education, the programme combines German language mastery with practical teaching skills. This page explains what the programme covers, how demanding entry is, and the paths open to you after graduation.

A teaching degree with a language focus

Programmes of this kind usually combine intensive German language study with courses on the German-speaking world—its literature, culture, and society. You also build the professional classroom skills needed to teach German at senior secondary level: lesson planning, language teaching methods, evaluation, and how to manage a diverse classroom. The goal is to produce graduates who are both fluent in German and confident at the front of a classroom.

What you can do after graduation

Most graduates from German Education programmes go on to teach German in senior high schools and other educational institutions. The combination of foreign language proficiency and teaching certification also opens up work in language tutoring, adult education, translation, and education administration. Some graduates choose to continue with further study in linguistics, German studies, or education.

How competitive entry is

Entry for this programme at the University of Education, Winneba is less competitive than for many other degree courses. That does not mean there are no requirements — you still need to meet the published WASSCE subject grades and pass any selection processes the university uses. But if your results match the requirements, you will be in a strong position to secure a place.
