General information about studying

Our department offers four courses (modules) as part of the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs in Business Education (2014 examination regulations):

Bachelor's program:

• Business Didactics I (WD I): Introduction to business didactics theory, curriculum and teaching development (9 credits)
  Summer semester

Master's program:

• Business Didactics II (WD II): Business and Economics Curriculum and Teaching Research (6 credits)
  Winter semester & summer semester
• Business Didactics III (WD III): Project on vocational business teaching/learning processes in the vocational field of business and administration (9 credits)
  Winter semester & summer semester
• Practical School Studies II (SPS II): Practical module (6 credits)
  Winter semester & summer semester

Please note, dear students, that the business didactics modules build on each other in terms of content and thus enable you to develop your skills. This is best achieved if the modules are completed consecutively as beginner, advanced and expert courses, as suggested in the sample curricula. With this in mind, it is not advisable to take the modules at the same time or in a different order. It is more likely to lead to problems when taking your examinations and is not conducive to the development of your professionalization.

Another important note regarding the Master's courses offered in the subject area "Business Education with a Focus on Vocational Teaching and Learning":

Due to the BA module "Business Didactics I", which regularly takes place in the summer semester (and the associated exhausted teaching capacities), fewer business didactics courses are generally offered in the summer semester than in the winter semester. Please take this into account when planning your studies!

The modules are located in the sample curricula as shown in the following diagram:

The basic module cycle is subject to necessary adjustments. Please check our homepage and the student management system HIS regularly for information on the courses we offer.

Detailed information on the structure and course of the degree program and the content of the modules can be found in the current examination regulations.

During the semester, the teaching and learning processes of our department are coordinated via Moodle.
