Curative education cannot be studied as a Bachelor's degree course, but only as a Master's degree course, which requires a Bachelor's degree. In order to be able to teach this at a remedial school, you must therefore first complete a Master's degree.

At Universities, prospective special needs teachers who want to work at a special needs school can choose one of two specializations for their Master's degree in Special Needs Education: Early Special Needs Education (HFE) or Special Needs Education (SHP).

A wide variety of professionals can work at a special education school, including teachers, classroom assistants and students or trainees, kitchen staff, janitors and secretarial and administrative staff, as well as school social workers and social pedagogues. People with a bachelor's degree in speech therapy or psychomotor therapy can also be employed there alongside specialists in special education with a master's degree.

Special education graduates work in counseling in early special education, teach children and young people with behavioral problems or disabilities as part of special education at mainstream schools or special education schools and can also work in research and development in special education.

Anyone wishing to study for a Master's degree in special education in order to work at a special education school, for example, requires either a teaching diploma recognized by the EDK for regular classes at pre-school, primary or secondary level, or at least a Bachelor's degree in psychomotor skills or speech therapy. People who have a Bachelor's degree related to the field of study, such as occupational therapy, psychology, social pedagogy, educational science or special education from a university, usually have to meet further requirements.
