Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences (teacher training) (B.Sc.)

The bachelors program Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences with teacher training is the first step towards acquiring the qualifications needed to teach this subject at vocational schools.

The program teaches you the knowledge and skills of the fundamentals of vehicle engineering, teaching methodology, and educational science. The technical part of the curriculum focuses on topics such as surveying, ecological aspects of land cultivation and garden care, botany and fertilization, and landscape design and planning. During the teacher training components of the degree program, you will learn about the conditions for learning and education and how to shape learning processes during a lesson.

During a six-week professional development internship at a school, you will gain initial teaching experience as well as explore pedagogical-didactic issues.

The degree program can be selected as a core subject and is supplemented with a secondary subject at Freie Universitt Berlin or Humboldt-Universitt zu Berlin.

Please note that this degree course is intended for individuals who wish to pursue a teaching degree in the future. It is not suitable if you are searching for a strictly technical degree course.

As a graduate, you will analyze different occupational-educational relationships and the work in this career field and have an understanding of landscape design. In the educational science components, you will study concepts related to learning, education, and professional education. Using this background in theory, you observe and analyze professional teaching, learning, and development processes - particularly in lessons at vocational schools, training centers, and in other practical learning locations.

Like every other bachelors degree program at TU Berlin, applicants must possess a university entrance qualification certificate to apply to the Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences program. Generally, the Abitur serves as the university entrance qualification certificate. If you do not have a formal university entrance qualification, you may still be able to study at TU Berlin if you can provide proof of certain professional qualifications.

The Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences bachelors program is taught in German. If you are applying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a specific level. This is a prerequisite for admission.

As this study program is significantly made up of natural science and engineering content, you should have basic knowledge of these areas as well as an interest in pedagogical and technical issues. If you have taken these subjects as part of your Abitur, you will have an easier transition to this degree program, but they are not a formal requirement for admission.
