Short Description
Politics is offered as a teaching subject (or supplementary teaching subject) within the degree programme Master’s Teacher Training Course for Technical Education. As a first subject, a vocational subject must be studied.
The Master’s Teacher Training Course for Technical Education builds on knowledge gained by students in the Bachelor’s Teacher Training Course for Technical Education (or a comparable degree programme). The main aim is for students to familiarise themselves with teaching practice in the subject of Politics, and to undertake teaching methodological reflection. In addition to taking the subject discipline, students complete compulsory elective modules worth 20 credit points (e.g. International Relations, Political Sociology, the advanced module in Work and Organisation).
