This Bachelor of Science program in Media Technology with teacher training is designed for students who aspire to teach vocational school subjects. It combines fundamental knowledge in media technology with essential teaching methodologies and educational sciences. The technical component covers mathematics, computer science, and specific media technology areas like communication technologies, digital media creation, and signal processing. The pedagogical part focuses on learning conditions, shaping educational processes, and includes a six-week professional development internship in a school setting. This program requires a second subject, which can be chosen from electrical engineering or information technology at TU Berlin, or at Freie Universität Berlin or Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Please note, this program is specifically for those seeking a teaching career and is not a purely technical degree.
The program is structured with core components in Media Technology and teacher training. Students will earn credit points (LP) in each area. A secondary subject is also required and contributes to the overall credit points.
This program is the first step towards a career as a teacher at vocational schools. It also qualifies graduates for positions in other vocational training and continuing education institutions.
A good understanding of natural sciences and mathematics, along with an interest in pedagogical and technical issues, is recommended for success in this program. Prior knowledge in these areas from your Abitur can be beneficial but is not a formal requirement.
