Business Education (Master)

This page contains automatically translated content.

In the Master's program in Business Education (M.Ed.), students - building on the Bachelor's program - deepen their knowledge of business and economics. The aim is to expand the knowledge in the second subject as well as to deepen the knowledge in the corresponding subject didactics and the educational and social sciences in order to promote the economic professional action competencies of young people and adults.

With the Master's degree, business educators fulfill the requirements for entry into the traineeship. Afterwards, many school-related fields of activity are open to them: These include all types of vocational schools (e.g. vocational schools or vocational high schools) in which commercial subjects are taught. The teaching profession at vocational schools is a demanding occupation that offers trained business educators an interesting and future-proof job. In addition, graduates also have access to numerous fields of activity outside of school, e.g. as lecturers in educational institutions or companies.

In the degree programs of business education (B. Ed., M.

It is important to note the following: 'Business, labor and social law' is not an independent training and examination subject in the preparatory service (Referendariat) of many federal states. This applies in particular to the state of Hesse. Find out from the authorities / state ministries responsible in the respective federal state whether this subject is recognized.
