BA/BS in Englisch

Offered since the 2020/21 winter semester, this bachelor's programme succeeds the now-discontinued course for teaching at vocational schools. It trains teachers who will handle the theory portion of vocational training for a highly varied group of apprentices, building an overview of the theoretical and methodological foundations of vocational and business pedagogy, alongside one vocational specialisation field and one general teaching subject. Graduates hold a first professionally qualifying degree that opens roles across vocational education and continuing training, for example with chambers of industry and commerce, as well as positions in industrial, commercial and larger craft businesses, the service sector or public administration. The bachelor's degree also serves as the entry point to a master's programme; practising as a teacher at a vocational school requires the subsequent "Master of Education" qualification, which in turn allows entry into the supervised teacher-training placement (Referendariat).
