Annotation

Students who have the aim of attaining the teaching qualification for vocational schools complete their studies in a tiered course structure. First of all, the Bachelor's degree in Vocational Education with the specialisation Electrical Engineering in cooperation with Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences Foundation must be completed at Osnabrück University in cooperation with Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences, or applicants must demonstrate an equivalent academic degree from another university in the corresponding or closely related subject with a corresponding specialisation specific to the teaching profession and the professional field of electrical engineering. The Master's degree course "Teaching Qualification for Vocational Schools", specialising in Electrical Engineering, offered in cooperation with the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences Foundation, builds onto this course. The degree course in the discipline Electrical Engineering is offered at the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences Foundation.; the range of courses offered in the teaching subjects and in vocational and business education at the university. For the Master's course, an application and proof of practical professional experience amounting to 52 weeks (whereby 26 weeks can be completed by the end of the Master's degree course) is required in any case. Applications for the Master's degree course "Teaching Qualification for Vocational Schools" are submitted to Osnabrück University. A Master's degree is the prerequisite for admission to postgraduate civil service. In the teacher training degree course, Electrical Engineering is studied in combination with the subject already selected in the bachelor's program. As part of the Master's supplementary course "Complementary Subject for the Teaching Qualification for Vocational Schools", a further teaching subject can be studied. This can generally be German, English, Protestant Religion, Computer Science, Islamic Religion, Catholic Religion, Mathematics, Physics or Sports. If the chosen subject is English, during registration for the degree examination, proof of a three-month course-relevant stay abroad in a country in which English is the official language must be provided. In addition to the field of Electrical Engineering and the teaching subject, the study of vocational and business education (BWP) is compulsory, in which competences in the field of vocational education are taught. The didactics of vocational teaching and learning is also a component. Preparatory and follow-up placements at vocational schools must be completed within the scope of the special in-school practical studies and in subject-related internships. The Master's thesis can be written in the professional subject area, in the teaching subject or in vocational and economics education.
