Objectives
The degree programme prepares students for senior or higher (management) positions, e.g. in educational institutions of companies and chambers. Activities in the field of teaching/learning aids, VET research or international development cooperation can also be pursued. The academic degree "Master of Science" entitles the holder to a doctorate. The degree programme allows for different subject orientations (differentiation area) depending on the previous studies. The programme is also open to applicants from non-technical disciplines (such as psychology, social pedagogy, health, economics, etc.). Professional practical studies, which are completed and reflected upon in the employment field of "business", provide practical preparation for later employment. Depending on the previous studies and the associated area of differentiation, students can choose from the (special vocational) subjects or general subjects offered:
- Operational Management,

- Specialised subject: Computer Science.
In addition, a core study in "Vocational Education and Training Management and Operational Human Resources Development" is included.
