Wie umfangreich ist das Kindheitspädagogik- bzw. Kindererziehung-Studium in Vollzeit?

How extensive is the full-time childhood education degree program?

Attention: The names of the child education training and degrees were changed in 2021. Since then, the degrees have been called "dipl. Kindheitspädgoge CHE" and "dipl. Kindheitspädagogin CHE" (previously: dipl. Kindererzieher CHE / dipl. Kindererzieherin CHE).

The scope of study for the course in childhood education at a College of Higher Education (CHE) depends on the previous education. It amounts to at least 5400 learning hours for participants without a relevant Federal VET Diploma (e.g. care specialist) and at least 3600 learning hours for participants with a relevant Federal VET Diploma - both in full-time and part-time courses.

With a total of 5,400 hours, 1,800 hours are spent on contact learning and, depending on the training model, 900-1200 hours on self-study, up to 1,800 hours on practical training and 600 hours on the final examination phase.

With a total of 3600 hours, 1200 hours are accounted for by contact learning time and, depending on the training model, 600-900 hours by self-study, up to 900 hours by practical training and 600 hours by the final examination phase.
