The University of Kiel is the only full University and the scientific center of the Land Schleswig-Holstein, the northernmost state of Germany’s Federal Republic. With about 26,000 student enrolments, and a scientific staff of more than 2,000 persons (among them, about 400 university professors), it belongs to the middle-sized universities in Germany. Its formation programs comprise 185 courses of study and approximately 80 subjects. Academic careers at Kiel University are fully adapted to the international BA/MA formation structure, and special emphasis is laid on interdisciplinary collaboration in research, not only within the University itself, but also in academic exchange and common projects with researchers from all over the world. A central pillar of the University's education and research profile is the professional study program for teacher students. The Center for Teacher Training, the Leibniz Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (IPN), and many professors of subject specific pedagogy and didactics in the Humanities represent the high level of teacher training in Kiel.
The Center on Humanities in Education of the CAU (German acronym ZeBiG) fosters empirical research on professionalism as a pertinent feature of formation in teacher training. Beyond this concentration on professional education for teachers in foreign languages, the ZeBiG engages itself in two more areas. First, research orientation and mobile technologies in teacher education. Second, a way to introduce new teaching and learning methods by the means of active filmmaking (students and pupils as producers of educational videos).
