Teacher Education for Secondary Level I

The Teaching diploma for lower secondary education (DEDS/LDS) is obtained after completing two cycles of education, i.e. academic training to bachelor level culminating in a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education (BA_SI), or a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education (BSc_SI), and professional, pedagogical, didactic and practical training carried out mainly at master’s level culminating in a Master of Arts in Secondary Education.

The latter is organised by the French-speaking "Centre de formation à l'enseignement pour le degré secondaire I" or the German-speaking "Zentrum für Lehrpersonenbildung für die Sekundarstufe I". For more information, please contact the Centres.
