Agricultural Science
The subject of Agricultural Science in the Master of Education degree program explores all questions regarding the primary production of food for humans and animals as well as renewable resources. Subdisciplines are crop production, animal science, ecological agriculture as well as economics and social sciences. With Agricultural Science as their Major Professional Discipline, students choose one of three Minor Professional Disciplines: Crop Science (Crop Farming), Animal Science (Animal Breeding) or Agricultural Economics and Social Sciences. By choosing a Minor Professional Discipline, students can specialize in a certain field.
Educational sciences and subject didactics are paramount in this degree program, with the latter enabling prospective vocational school teachers to adequately convey their specialist knowledge to students training for relevant professions (e.g. agriculture, forestry, floristry, gardening, horse industry).
The teaching degree for vocational schools combines a professional discipline with a school subject and educational sciences. The practical semester is a key component of the degree program.
