The lateral entry master's program in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (Q-Master ET/IT) prepares students to teach electrical engineering and information technology at vocational schools. This program allows individuals who have studied electrical engineering or a similar subject at a university or university of applied sciences to pursue a Master of Education without having to complete a bachelor's degree with teacher training first.

Admission Requirements

• A first university degree qualifying for professional work is required.
• A formal requirement for admission is a first university degree in electrical engineering or a related subject field.
• Proof of an additional 48 credit points in information technology is required to register the master's thesis.
• The program is taught in German, and applicants with a foreign school-leaving certificate must provide proof of German skills at a specific level.
• Interest in and understanding of teaching methodology and education are necessary.
• Being independent and a self-starter is advantageous.

Program Structure

• The program teaches knowledge and skills in the subject area, teaching methodology, and educational sciences.
• Additional focus is placed on language acquisition/German as a second language, inclusion, and dealing with heterogeneity.
• The curriculum includes:
  • Teaching methodology, education, and language acquisition/German as a second language (88 LP)
  • Specialization in information technology (12 LP)
  • Elective unit (5 LP)
  • Master's thesis (15 LP)
• A proposed course schedule is available, recommending how to complete the degree program within four semesters.
