Annotation

Would you like to pass on your expertise in economics and guide young people on their educational and career paths? The Master’s degree programme in Business Education combines economics with continuing education and prepares students for positions of responsibility in teaching, training and continuing education as well as educational management.

During their studies, students deepen their knowledge of economics and at the same time acquire sound skills in education, didactics and the design of teaching and learning processes. Current challenges in vocational education and training are just as much a focus as the question of how economic concepts can be conveyed in a way that is both comprehensible and practical.

The degree course qualifies students for a traineeship and subsequent work as a teacher at a vocational college. In addition, it opens up career paths in corporate training and continuing education, in education management, in associations, chambers of commerce, companies and in educational research. A successfully completed Master’s examination also entitles students to pursue a doctorate.
