You can study in order to be a teacher at vocational colleges in two ways:

Vocational Subject Mechanical engineering technology for teaching positions at the university of Paderborn; Bachelor of Education (B. supra E.), Master of Education (M. supra E.)

You may study mechanical engineering technology for teaching positions in combination with in form of a general educational subject. It mediates in the bachelor's study and in the master study, building up on base fields like mathematics, physics, chemistry and mechanics, the qualities of materials and the bases of the machine being and the construction.

You are prepared by the study of specialised didactic aspects of this special professional field and more in general education-scientific bases on the application than teacher in an occupational lecture. Occupational schoolteachers of the field Mechanical engineering technology can inform, for example, beginning industrial mechanics and investment mechanics, metal farmer or technical draftsmen.

You will find general information and information on how the bachelor’s and master degree courses are made up be at the centre for educational research and teacher education (PLAZ).

Master of Education (M. supra E.)

You may apply for the the master degree course for teaching positions at technical colleges if you finished a bachelor's degree (at least 6 semestres) in the area of mechanical engineering. Moreover, 6 credit points from the area of subject didactics and at least 18 credit points from the area of educational sciences / vocational education (incl. vocational internship and orientation internship) must be approved.
