electives / minor / certificate program
The difficulty here is the difference in school systems. Speaking for North America, normally you pick a major in university, and if you would like you would also do a minor (requires a few less courses, but is still a part of your full degree). However, from what is said above, it sounds like they are either doing a double major or major/minor in math and history. In this case, you could either use the term 'electives' (which refer to any courses you do outside your official fields of study) or it might be considered a certificate course or diploma course (will not end with a full degree, rather a certificate to attest that you did some courses in this field, but not enough for a full degree). These are often referred to as 'concurrent' programs. Some universities for example, offer programs of 'Concurrent Education'.
Also consider the fact that the process to becoming a teacher is probably completely different.... for example in Canada, you must first do a full university degree with a double major or major/minor (you need 2 'teachables' - in this person's case math and history'), only after this you apply to teacher's college and do another year of school to become a certified teacher.

Example sentence:
'alongside my courses in math and history, I have taken 3 electives in educational theory.'
York University's Graduate Diploma in German & European Studies is open to graduate students who are enrolled in an M.A. or Ph.D. program in fields such as International Business, Economics, Education,....

: But what about "pädagogisch"?

hense my example using electives in 'educational theory'. That is 'pädagogisch'. Or 'educational science', they are both sometimes used, or simply 'pedagogics'

Kim Metzger
: Based on the excellent article provided by Johanna, I would tend towards "electives in educational theory."

Pedagogy (pedagogical) portion of the (degree) program
I don't have the capacity to link to my sources at this moment. But "pedagogical portion" surely's not unheard of...

practical pedagogic training
Teacher training is basically divided into two stages, a course of higher education and practical pedagogic training, see here:

I think this is what is meant here.

Reference:
From the article cited by Johanna: "The German word “Pädagogik” means both educational theory (including the science of education and its metatheory) as well as educational practice (including its working values, aims, techniques; its historical foundations, and its institutional structure.) As an academic major at the university, one studies educational theory in its philosophical, historical, political, and theological context. If anything, German students of Pädagogik tend to be quite short on practical experience. If one desires training to become a teacher in the elementary or non-university track secondary schools of Germany, he/she doesn’t study at the university at all, but at special “pädagogische Hochschulen.” Pedagogy, then, in Germany remains primarily an academic study."
Thus, I would say this person studied educational theory/principles rather than methods and techniques of teaching.
"In the United States, “pedagogy” has a very narrow meaning. If it is used at all, it usually refers to the techniques or methods of teaching which are applied in formal educational institutions. Graduate students enroll in education courses, rather than courses in pedagogy."
I would thus also not use "pedagogy" in this situation.
