Target group

Everyone's talking about the shortage of teachers, and this is going to become a reality in the coming years. In almost every federal state, qualified vocational education specialists from the fields of SAGE (Social Work, Health & Education), Economics, stem (Mathematics, Computer Science, Natural Sciences & Technology) and Design are urgently needed for the vocational school system! With a degree in vocational education, you will have access to an attractive career in the education sector. You will be able to teach at vocational training schools in your field! The Master's degree course in vocational education is intended to complement traditional routes into the profession. It offers a way to gain a vocational teaching qualification, enabling those entering the teaching profession at vocational schools directly, laterally or laterally to qualify for teaching positions. It does not lead to a period of practical training or state-recognised traineeship and therefore does not enable direct access to the state-recognised teaching profession at vocational schools.
