Business Education II with second teaching subject
M.Sc.
Overview
The Vocational Education program consists of two degree courses: Bachelor of Education and Master of Education. The studies provide training for those wishing to teach at vocational schools. Bachelor students acquire the necessary didactic and pedagogical specialist knowledge for entry to the Masters course. A Masters degree in Vocational Education is a prerequisite for commencing a Referendariat (teacher training internship at a public school). Successful completion of the Referendariat is a precondition for future employment at public schools.
At this stage, Masters graduates will also have attained the level of knowledge and skills required to commence an academic career in the sciences. Alternatively, Vocational Education graduates (either Bachelor or Master) can find employment at private vocational schools, technical colleges, academies or comparable institutions.
Structure
Both the Bachelor and Master degree courses are divided into a professional spezialisation, a general teaching subject and the social and educational sciences. This structure corresponds to the interdisciplinary range of tasks for teachers at vocational schools. Students have a choice of thirteen teaching subjects, which allows them to develop an individual profile and also provides the basis for a considerably expanded range of teaching duties.
Language of instruction is German.

Qualifications
Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. The aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure after the submission of an official application to a program. In this procedure, the TUM school determines whether you meet the specific requirements for its Master’s degree program.
In the initial stages, the grades you obtained during your Bachelor’s program, as well as your written documents, will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted, rejected or invited to an admissions interview.
