Economics and Business Education

Area of specialisation B

This area of specialisation centres on the question of how economics topics and learning content can be successfully communicated to pupils through teaching. You will become acquainted with the German educational and vocational training system, in particular the dual system. However, you will primarily learn teaching methods, practice how to plan and structure lessons and critically reflect on classes held. To ensure you have as broad a base as possible in terms of content, you will also deal with other business administration topics (HR management, investment and finance).

Conditions: The courses in this module partly build on each other. You should have a fundamental interest in didactic (teaching and learning) as well as educational (instruction and training) questions.
