Master's degree in teaching at vocational colleges with a major vocational specialisation in mechanical engineering technology in combination with a minor vocational specialisation in production technology
Completion of the Master's degree programme in Teaching at Vocational Colleges qualifies students for the preparatory service for teaching at vocational colleges. On this degree programme, students choose one major vocational subject area and one minor vocational subject area:
- Mechanical Engineering (major vocational specialisation) and Production Engineering (minor vocational specialisation) or
- Electrical Engineering (major vocational specialisation) and Automation Technology (minor vocational specialisation) or
- Information technology (small vocational specialisation)
Completion of a Bachelor's degree programme in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related subject area (B.Sc./B.Eng.) fulfils an important basic requirement for enrolment on this Master's degree programme (M.Ed.). Students at Paderborn University and our partner universities can already attend subject-specific didactic and educational science or vocational education courses during their Bachelor's degree programme in order to be able to enrol on the Master's degree programme without any conditions (Edu-Tech Net OWL cooperation project).
