Electrical Engineering (teacher training) (B.Sc.)

The bachelors program Electrical Engineering 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 electrical engineering, teaching methodology, and educational science. The technical component of the program includes, among others, the following topic areas: networks, electric energy systems, energy and propulsion technology, metrology, and information technology. In the compulsory elective component, you have the opportunity to pursue your personal interests in greater depth. 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. Its purpose is to help you build and test your professional skills.

The degree program can be selected as a core subject and is supplemented with a secondary subject at TU Berlin (media or information technology) or 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.

The bachelors degree program in Electrical Engineering with teacher training combines a fundamental technical education and application-oriented modules from educational science and engineering sciences. 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. Your approach to language acquisition, inclusion and heterogeneity will be both cross-cutting and interdisciplinary in special learning units. As a graduate, you will be capable of independent scientific work, critical thinking, and acting with social responsibility in different vocational education environments.

Like every other bachelors degree program at TU Berlin, applicants must possess a university entrance qualification certificate to apply to the Electrical Engineering 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 Electrical Engineering 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.

In some exceptions, courses may be offered in English, and a knowledge of English is, therefore, useful. However, it is not a condition for admission to studies.

As this study program is significantly made up of engineering, mathematic, and physics-related content, you should have basic knowledge of these areas as well as be interested 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.
