About the Program
The master's degree program in Prevocational Education is a continuation of the same-titled bachelor's degree. In the master's program, you learn how to teach content from your subject combination to students at vocational schools. In addition to continuing your studies in your chosen subjects, you also further develop your knowledge of educational sciences, teaching methodology, and language acquisition/German as a second language. The subject-didactic aspects of your studies consolidate your abilities to plan, teach and reflect upon lessons and introduce you to aspects of subject-didactic teaching research. The educational science sections of the program allow you to acquire interdisciplinary skills from the areas of the psychology of learning and educational diagnostics. The practical semester, which always takes place during the third degree semester, is key. During this semester, you observe and analyze the practical requirements upon which you base your own initial supervised lessons. This master's degree program with prevocational education as a core subject must be supplemented with a secondary subject at Freie Universität Berlin or Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
