You want to advance social structures in the spirit of inclusion? Is it important to you to always view people holistically? During the online study programme in Special Education, you will learn to enable people with disabilities and special needs to participate in society and to compensate for their difficult living conditions. To this end, we will equip you with solid, practical, concrete and scientific concepts for action that will also prepare you for possible management functions at a later stage.
Those studying Special Education are ultimately awarded the title of “Staatlich anerkannte/r Heilpädagoge/in” (in English: “State-recognised special education specialist”) if they successfully complete the special education practice project.
