Teaching at a Vocational College
Become a teacher at a vocational college!
As a UAS student of engineering sciences, you can opt for the teaching profession variant of our degree programmes in any semester during your studies and also after completing your Bachelor's degree. This means that you complete courses from the Master of Education at RWTH Aachen University parallel to the Bachelor or instead of regular Bachelor modules. These are recognised for both the FH Bachelor's degree and the RWTH Master's degree. For this you need the so-called cross-registration. This is free of charge for you as a programme participant.
Everything can, nothing must!
By completing Master's modules early and with foresight, you save time if you decide to take the Master of Education at RWTH after your Bachelor's degree. There is no risk, because: Everything can, nothing must. Your full degree as an engineer will not be affected in any way.
- Are you interested in technology and do you enjoy teaching other people?
- Do you want career security, the ability to plan ahead and a profession that is easy to combine with your family and other life goals?
- Are you looking for a profession that you can adapt to different phases of life and not vice versa?
Then the profession of teacher at vocational colleges is an option worth considering for you.

Information on the occupational field of teaching at vocational colleges can be found in the brochure "Der Lehrerberuf am Berufskolleg: Voraussetzungen, Ausbildung, Perspektiven" (The teaching profession at vocational colleges: prerequisites, training, prospects ) published by the Ministry for Schools and Further Training of North Rhine-Westphalia.
