Study programmes and courses offered by the Department of Business Education

Our degree programme includes teacher training at vocational colleges and a general degree in business education. Throughout our study and teaching programme, we place particular emphasis on preparing our students for pressing issues such as sustainable and ecological management and ensuring that they benefit from modern teaching concepts.

„Unser Ziel ist es, eigenständige Persönlichkeiten zu entwickeln, die Bildungsprozesse begreifen, steuern können und andere in ihren beruflichen Lernprozessen unterstützen. Dies erfordert eine Verbindung von Lehr-Lern-Theorie und Hochschuldidaktik.”

Prof. Dr. Tobias Jenert,
Departmentsprecher

Busi­ness edu­ca­tion stud­ies

Students on Bachelor's degree programmes in business and economics can also take more modules in business education as part of a specialisation. The elective options in the assessment and profiling phase can be used, for example, to prepare students ideally for the Master of Science in Business Education or the Master of Education in Business Education - Teaching Qualification for Vocational Colleges.

The task of business education is to systematically research processes and conditions as well as support options for vocational teaching, learning and development at various learning and working locations across the lifespan. In doing so, it combines economic content with educational policy, organisational and didactic-methodological issues of vocational education and training in the school, company and inter-company fields. As part of its teaching and research, the Department of Business Education deals with current and future issues in vocational education and training. The following keywords indicate the range of work carried out by the Department of Business Education:

  • Design of complex learning environments and self-regulated learning
  • Competence measurement and development
  • Support diagnostics and individualised learning paths
  • Learning with new media
  • Educational management and teacher training

M. Sc. Busi­ness Edu­ca­tion

The focus of the Master's degree programme is on the design of vocational education and training. Business Education is a combination of Business Administration and Education Studies. We adopt different perspectives on learning and teaching processes.

About the degree programm

Teach­er train­ing pro­gramme

Teachers at vocational colleges are faced with the challenge of not only imparting specialised knowledge, but also helping students to develop professional skills. This means that they must support students in being able to reliably fulfil the tasks in their future professions. They should also enable students to understand and critically assess economic contexts, find solutions and be able to defend and discuss them. We prepare prospective teachers for these complex tasks in our degree programmes. The teaching profession at vocational colleges offers great diversity, as students are taught in many different educational programmes. The spectrum ranges, for example, from educational programmes leading to a technical secondary school certificate, entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences or general higher education entrance qualification to various training occupations in the dual system.

We constantly incorporate new findings from our numerous research projects into our teaching - for example on the requirements and challenges of the teaching profession. We live the teaching profession ourselves and are committed to a lively exchange.

Oc­cu­pa­tion­al fields

The Master's degree programmes in Business Education (Master of Science and Master of Education) prepare students for work in vocational schools, companies, educational administration institutions and research and development institutes through their traditional combination of economics and Education Studies components.

Vocational schools

As a teacher, you can expect a multifaceted and diverse field of activity with heterogeneous target groups, which places high, demanding and extremely appealing demands on those involved.

Learn more

Operation

There are numerous tasks involved in the in-company training and development of staff: Needs analysis of training programmes, the development of corresponding training or further training concepts or the implementation and evaluation of training measures. Functions in personnel development or personnel deployment planning are also conceivable.

Learn more

Counselling

Business educators support the educational process of people in all fields and are skilled in assisting both individuals and organisations with training and development issues.

Learn more

Education management

Adult education is increasingly being developed economically. In addition to traditional educational institutions, new providers are also entering the market. Business education tasks in this field include the conception, organisation and implementation of training units as well as administrative activities and quality assurance.

Learn more

Education administration

As business educators are also familiar with the organisational and educational policy framework conditions of educational processes, they can also work in school supervisory offices, ministries or state institutes and chambers. Typical positions include work on committees such as examination boards or vocational training committees.

Research and development institutes

However, the degree programme also enables a more research-oriented future in universities and colleges.

The lives of our gradu­ates

From the Wipäd to the Head of Pro­ject Man­age­ment Of­fice

Dr Thomas Kranert completed his doctorate in 2017 at the Chair of Business and Vocational Education of Prof Dr H.-Hugo Kremer. Today, as Head of Project Management at Schüco Interior Systems, a subsidiary of Schüco International KG in Bielefeld, he looks back on his doctorate and talks about his day-to-day work.

Dream job as a per­son­nel of­ficer at Deutsche Bahn

One year after graduating, Jan Fiebich landed his dream job as a personnel officer at Deutsche Bahn. He laid the foundation for this with an internship during his Master's degree programme. This made it much easier for him to start his career than many of his fellow students.

How to be­come a teach­er at a vo­ca­tion­al col­lege after bank train­ing

Mathias' path to studying was not quite as direct as that of many other students. He only began his Bachelor's degree at the age of 25 after training as a bank clerk and a total of six years in banking. Today, he is a teacher at a vocational college and shares his knowledge and experience with his students.
