Technology Education (certificate programme)

Subject of the study

The certificate programme in Technology (for Secondary Schools) offers a future-oriented, interdisciplinary education in technology and economics and qualifies students to deal scientifically with technical and economic issues and contexts.

They are enabled to theoretically and practically solve technical problems in central fields of action such as development and construction, production and manufacturing, energy management as well as information and communication. Students also learn to recognise and evaluate technology in the context of cultural and social events.

In the degree programme, you will acquire knowledge that is necessary for the theoretical analysis and description of machines, devices and processes for material-, energy- and information-processing systems and procedures, as well as skills that enable the practical implementation of theoretical considerations.
