The Master’s in Business Education opens up a wide range of career opportunities at the intersection of business, education, and human resources development. By combining expertise in business with skills in educational science, you will be able to work in a variety of settings—in both school-based and non-school-based professional fields, as well as in academia.

Typical places of employment may include:

  • Vocational schools, business schools, and business-focused high schools
  • Companies and associations (e.g., human resources development, training, organizational development)
  • Educational institutions (continuing education, adult education, certification programs)
  • Colleges and research institutions

If you’d like to pursue a career in teaching, this master’s degree qualifies you to begin a teaching internship (pedagogical training) at vocational schools, business schools, or business-focused high schools. After successfully completing the teaching internship, you can begin working as a teacher and guide young people on their educational and career paths.

A career in teaching offers you a challenging and varied professional field with long-term prospects and the opportunity to become a civil servant.

Beyond the traditional academic path, a wide range of career opportunities awaits you in companies, associations, and educational institutions. In particular, by combining this program with the minor in Corporate Human Resources and Organizational Development (BPO), you will gain the qualifications needed to shape learning, development, and change processes within organizations.

Possible roles include, for example, work in human resources and organizational development, the design and implementation of continuing education and training programs, and advising employees and teams. Roles in educational management, quality management, or marketing are also possible.

In this way, you combine business acumen with educational expertise and actively shape the development of people and organizations.

This research-oriented master’s program also opens the door to an academic career at universities and research institutions. Here, you can delve deeply into issues related to vocational education, business education, and human resources and organizational development, and pursue a doctorate ( ).

With a master’s degree in Business Education, three key career paths are open to you: teaching, professional practice in education, human resources, and organizational management, and an academic career. This ensures you are optimally prepared to design learning and development processes in various contexts and to play an active role at the intersection of business and education.
