Short Description

The Master鈥檚 programme Teacher Training Course for Technical Education for Single-subject Bachelor's Graduates (LBS-Sprint) is aimed at graduates of a Bachelor鈥檚 degree programme in the fields of food and nutritional sciences and enables a career change into teaching at vocational schools.

The aim of the programme is to impart subject-specific, didactic and vocational pedagogical skills for the planning, implementation, reflection and evaluation of action- and competence-oriented teaching and learning processes. The degree qualifies graduates to undertake the preparatory service for teaching at vocational schools.

Students deepen their knowledge of food science and acquire a specialised understanding of food processing technologies. Graduates are able to design lessons tailored to specific target groups in line with the 鈥榣earning field鈥� concept, to use digital teaching and learning tools 鈥� including AI 鈥� professionally and to reflect critically on their use, as well as to develop and evaluate teaching and learning situations. Furthermore, they can link subject-specific content with practical vocational requirements and continuously adapt their pedagogical practice to new scientific and professional contexts.

Course Content

Vocational Education Methodology: School Practice
Methodology in the field of Nutrition and Home Economics
Teaching and methodological approaches in the field of Nutrition and Home Economics
Process Engineering in Food Production

Course Structure

The Master鈥檚 programme lasts four semesters. Students study the following three areas in parallel:

Vocational specialisation: Food Science
Subject Teaching
Vocational and Business Education

During specialist placements at vocational schools, the teaching and learning arrangements developed in lectures are tested and analysed in the classroom. Finally, the Master鈥檚 thesis is to be completed in the fourth semester.
