Description of the complete programme (Bachelor plus Master of Education)

Bachelor of Education + Master of Education -> Lehramt an beruflichen Schulen (Teaching at Vocational Schools)

The programme Lehramt an beruflichen Schulen at the Technical University of Darmstadt consists of two connected study programmes:

  • first, the Bachelor of Education programme (6 semesters; vocational field of study) and
  • subsequently, the Master of Education programme (4 semesters; subject of general education/subject studies).
  • In addition to methodical and didactical subjects, practical classroom training complements the programme.

Only the completion of both the Bachelor of Education and the Master of Education is equivalent to the first state examination in the state of Hesse and therefore mandatory for the admission to the preparatory period (teaching practice) or the teaching profession.

Note on the M.Ed. Sport programme

Enrolment in the M.Ed. Sport programme will be suspended in all semesters starting in the summer semester of 2026. If you have not already started the M.Ed. Sport programme, you will no longer be able to study it.

The choice of sport as a subject in all B.Ed. programmes is also suspended. If you have not already started studying Sport in a B.Ed. programme, you will no longer be able to study it in the B.Ed. programme. It is unlikely that you will be able to continue a B.Ed. programme with Sport as a subject consecutively with an M.Ed. Sport programme unless you are already enrolled in the M.Ed. Sport programme.

Note on the professional specialisation with theology as an elective subject

The professional specialisation in combination with the elective subject Protestant/Catholic Theology will no longer be available from the 2026/27 winter semester onwards.

Teaching degree programmes

  • Job opportunities for graduates of the Bachelor of Education can for example be found in corporate vocational training institutions, in the field of vocational training studies.
  • Entering the preparatory period (teaching practice) for teaching in the broad field of public vocational schools, however, is only possible after having completed the graduate degree programme Master of Education.

Predictions about the future demand for teachers or their employment opportunities are difficult to make as both depend on a number of different factors. This includes, for example, demographic development, the selected combination of subjects or the type of school, the political framework, etc.
