Unique profile

A triad that runs through the programme: The structure of the undergraduate modules follows a unique, clearly comprehensible structure that is closely linked to the skills you acquire during your studies. Each module comprises

• a theory course,
• a course on research methods, and
• a practical course.

These courses within a module are coordinated in terms of content and interlinked in a targeted manner - so that you can systematically combine theories, methods and practical references.

There are also other special features that make the Bachelor's degree programme stand out:

• Individual profile sharpening: you can set your own focus via elective courses in, for example, offerings from psychology or other related disciplines.
• Living science: The content of the degree program is closely linked to the current research activities of the participating chairs - with the overarching goal of understanding how people, teams and organisations can be developed in a targeted manner.

In addition to this tripartite division of the modules - each with its own courses in theory, research methods and practice - the programme naturally also focuses on specific content. These are

• Vocational training and continuing education: What training and further training needs exist in companies? What needs to be taken into account when planning, organising and implementing initial and continuing education?
• Learning in organisations: Who can learn from whom in a company? What conditions make it possible to learn from others? How can the knowledge of employees be optimally utilised for the company?
• Professional learning: What characteristics (e.g. knowledge) characterise experts and how are they acquired? What is professional behaviour and how do experts learn?
• Web-based learning: What are the advantages of web-based learning? How should learning platforms be designed?
• University research: How is knowledge acquired and used at universities? What should be considered in the design of teaching?
  

After graduating with a degree in education, graduates have a broad repertoire of skills and competences, both in terms of the theoretical and practical application of the course content, as well as through the acquisition of various soft skills. In a separate module on complementary specialist skills, you can also take courses from related disciplines such as psychology or economics and thus sharpen your profile for your later career entry.

This enables graduates to work in various fields later on.

These can include the following fields of work:

• In-company and external training and continuing education: Analysing training needs; designing and implementing (vocational) training measures.
• Personnel and organisational development: coaching of employees; implementation of team-building measures.
• Counselling: counselling in (in-company) educational work, in adult education, educational counselling.
• Teaching and research at universities and research institutes: Conducting scientific studies; teaching in the subject of pedagogy
• Media education: development and use of electronics or digital media as learning materials, including in the e-learning and blended learning sector.
