Vocational Education and Training (MA)

Taught in German

General information on BA and MA degree programmes

General information

The BA and MA degree courses with the title "Vocational Education and Training" are in line with the Hessian law governing teaching qualifications (Hessisches Lehrerbildungsgesetz, HLbG), giving the successful student the same status as candidates who have passed the first state teaching exams. The Master's degree is given the same status as the first state examination for vocational teaching. Thus the graduates may then apply for the subsequent practical preparation stage and, on successful completion of that (second state examination), may commence teaching at vocational institutions.

Degree

Master of Arts (MA)

Subject-specific prerequisites

will be defined soon.

Application and admission

This course of study does not have a capacity limit.
Applications for the winter semester must reach the students office (Studierendensekretariat) of JLU Giessen by 15.7. More on this...
Please note that the application period for the Master's course can be extended. This will be published on Bewerbung-Aktuell.

Commencement of studies

only in the winter semeter

Composition of degree programme

The studies comprise:

educational and social sciences: sociology, political sciences, psychology (the educational science content will be dealt with in work education, vocational eduaction and economic education).
one general education subject (selected from among those commonly taught teaching degree subjects at vocational schools in accordance with the Hessian law on education) for teaching degree at grammar schools
work and economic education (not as a subject for later teaching!!!)

One of the following professional disciplines must have been studied in the Bachelor`s course:

Agriculture
Home Economics
Commercial Nutrition

Electrical Engineering
Metal Engineering

If one of these subjects has already been studied in another course of study, it is possible to apply to the board of examiners for recognition of this. However, in such cases often the detailed basic study in the elementary parts of the general education subject, in professional and economics education (supposed to be studied in the BA course) is lacking. In this case the student might be obliged to study in a higher semester of the BA course first.

Please see information sheet lateral entry (in German).
