Annotation
Students who have the aim of attaining the teaching qualification for vocational schools complete their studies in a tiered course structure. Firstly, the Bachelor's degree course in Vocational Training at the Universität Osnabrück must be completed or proof provided of an equivalent academic degree obtained at another university in the appropriate subject, or in a closely related subject with a corresponding teacher-training specialisation and the vocational specialisation in Nursing Sciences. The Master's degree course "Teaching Qualification for Vocational Schools" specialising in Nursing Sciences, which is oriented towards the professional field of schools, builds onto this academic degree. For the Master's degree course, an application and, in general, proof of completed relevant professional training is required in any case.
In the Teaching Qualification degree course, you will study Nursing Science in combination with the teaching subject already selected in the Bachelor's degree course.
As part of the Master's supplementary course "Complementary Subject for the Teaching Qualification for Vocational Schools", a further teaching subject can be studied. This can generally be Biology, Chemistry, German, English, Protestant Religion, Computer Science, Islamic Religion, Catholic Religion, Mathematics, Physics, Spanish or Sports. Protestant and Catholic Religion are excluded as another teaching subject, however, if one of these teaching subjects has already been studied as a teaching subject.
If the chosen subject is English, during registration for the final examination, proof of a three-month course-relevant stay abroad in a country in which English is the official language must be provided.
In addition to the specialisation in Nursing Science and the core subject, the degree programme includes a compulsory module in Vocational and Business Education (BWP), which develops skills in the field of vocational education and training. The didactics of vocational teaching and learning is also a component.
The Master’s degree allows you to complete the postgraduate traineeship. After that, you will be able to take up a civil servant position as a teacher at a state vocational school throughout Germany. The academic degree also qualifies graduates for roles in training, further training and continuing education at vocational schools and educational academies as well as for consulting or managerial roles in the nursing sector. The Master of Education also qualifies you to take on an academic position and to pursue a subsequent doctorate.
