Everything You Need to Know
Course Content
During your studies, you’ll combine computer science and business administration with educational content, gaining initial experience that will prepare you for your future role in the classroom at vocational schools.
During the first two semesters, you’ll build your knowledge base. In computer science, you’ll start right away with programming and learn how software engineering and database systems work. At the same time, you’ll learn the basics of business administration—from accounting to statistics.
At the same time, you’ll attend lectures on subject-specific pedagogy and vocational education at the University of Education in Freiburg. This way, as early as the 3rd and 4th semesters, you’ll get a feel for what it’s like to impart knowledge. Two teaching observations at schools will give you real-world insights and help you figure out if teaching is the right career path for you.
Starting in the 6th semester, you’ll choose 2 out of 5 specializations and can either delve even deeper into technical IT topics or expand your knowledge in business.
Perspectives
Your expertise is in high demand in both industry and education. Your additional training in education gives you an edge when it comes to team leadership, training, or change management.
Your career paths after graduation:
IT Consulting & Business Analysis: Optimize processes as the interface between people and technology.
Data Engineering & Project Management: Manage complex IT projects in companies.
Teaching: With a subsequent master's degree, you can begin your career as a teacher at vocational schools and pass on your knowledge to young people.
