Building technology
After completing your first state examination, you will be able to complete a traineeship at a vocational school (vocational school, vocational college, technical college, vocational grammar school, etc.) in the vocational field[1] of "Construction Technology" and then teach as a teacher in the vocational field. This means that you can teach in the assigned professions after completing your studies.

The basis for the university education in the vocational department of "Civil Engineering" is the corresponding engineering science, Civil Engineering. The subject areas covered include mathematics, chemistry, materials science, building physics, structural engineering, road construction, building design, timber construction and repair. In addition, the history of construction and the preservation of historical monuments should also be mentioned.
The aim of vocational didactics as a core element of teacher training is to enable you to systematically prepare the diverse (teaching) content and to be able to plan, implement and reflect on lessons in a way that is appropriate for the target group.

[1] Although the Vocational Department and the Vocational Field are called the same thing, there is an important difference. While the vocational department refers to the field of study and thus the structure of teacher training at universities, the term occupational field refers to the assignment of individual (related) professions. Consequently, the degree program prepares you to teach in the assigned professions - regardless of the current lack of a systematic and formally valid classification. This is a key difference compared to general education, which prepares you for a subject.
