What made you choose this degree programme?

I wanted to work with language and people in my life, as this best suits my affinities, skills and interests and I see it as a meaningful contribution to shaping society. After several internships in various related professional fields (speech therapy, journalism, teaching), I chose Latin as one of my two subjects because it prepares me for my future career as a Latin teacher, where I can creatively help children and young people from all backgrounds discover the timeless - whether linguistically or culturally - in Roman antiquity.

In which respect have or haven’t your expectations been fulfilled?

My expectations were fulfilled, particularly in the planning and execution of Latin lessons and the didactic analysis of teaching materials.As there are no noticeable discrepancies between the transparent descriptions in the module handbook and the actual study practice, I do not see any unfulfilled expectations.

Which aspect of your degree programme do you enjoy most?

Being creative with the Latin teaching resources provided to me. from Latin didactics and at the same time always having enough professional and didactic orientation to go my own way, now and later, without straying from it.

What has been your biggest challenge to date?

To produce a worksheet by hand within two hours on the basis of an original Latin text.

What would you like to become after completing your degree?

Among other things, a teacher of Latin at a secondary school.

Which advice would you like to give to students who consider enrolling in this degree programme?

To see hurdles as potential for development during the course of your studies, to make use of all help for your own professionalisation and to look forward to your individual role as a Latin teacher with joy and confidence.
