About the degree program

Are you passionate about technology and enjoy sharing your experience and know-how with others? Then this degree course is for you! Studying to become an engineering educator opens up two career opportunities for you. We combine engineering subjects with educational science content to prepare you for the future. With our degree in your pocket, you have the choice of going into business (industry, free education market) or into the state school service via a follow-up course at TU Dresden.

Learning to teach. Develop new technologies. Gain professional experience and make an active contribution to tackling the climate crisis. This is what the Mechanical Engineering Pedagogy degree program at the HSZG makes possible. Through a clever combination of subjects from the fields of mechanical engineering (60%) with subjects from educational science and didactics (20%), you will be able to teach complex technical contexts. During the course of your studies, you can choose to specialize in either economics or electrical engineering. The proportion of subjects from the specializations in the degree course is 20%. Several internships are planned for in-depth study and practical application. These practical phases are completed in vocational schools. The university will provide you with intensive support in your search for an internship.

As a graduate of the Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering Pedagogy, you have the opportunity to continue your studies on the Teaching at Vocational Schools course at TU Dresden. This will qualify you as a teacher for the state school service. A large part of your academic achievements from the Bachelor's degree course will be recognized.

"You will be a role model, because you know what it means to create great things! And you will teach all this to others!"

Does that sound good to you? Then enter the exciting, future-shaping world of engineering education in mechanical engineering. We invite you to take a look at our inspiring video and be part of the change.

Our promise to you

What you can look forward to

We have plenty of affordable living space: apartments in halls of residence, your own apartment, shared apartments - everything is possible here.

If you would like to go abroad during your studies, we make it possible. What's more, two other countries are just a stone's throw away from our campus. A quick trip abroad is part of our everyday life.

The HSZG plants a tree for every student. If you want, you can even do it yourself.

Here you study at eye level - not just with your fellow students. Thanks to small student groups, our teaching staff will respond to you individually. Recreation, mountains, lakes, two cities rich in cultural diversity and right in the middle of it all is the HSZG.

There's no shortage of partying here: flat share party, festival, record session, studio club. The only challenge you'll face is making up your mind.

Apart from the fact that our region is perfect for outdoor sports, our university sports department has a lot to offer. From the gym to swimming and table tennis to Zumba, there's something for everyone. And if you want to take a break from sport, we have cool sports camps for you.

FAQ

Maybe you're wondering...

  • What NC do I need to study Mechanical Engineering Education?

    You do not need a specific numerus clausus (NC) to study Mechanical Engineering Education. There is also no strenuous selection process or waiting semester. Instead, we look forward to getting to know you personally. At Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, we cultivate a family atmosphere and support you throughout your studies. Our professors and teaching staff will support you personally in achieving your individual goals.

  • Can I study engineering education without a high school diploma?

    To be admitted to the course, you need a general or subject-specific higher education entrance qualification or entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences or, in this case, a relevant master craftsman's examination.

    Applicants with a qualification as a technician, business administrator, master craftsman or similar. Completion of advanced vocational training in accordance with §18(3) of the SächsHSG must take part in a counseling interview for general university admission.

    For further studies leading to the state examination at the TU Dresden, you need vocational training or professional experience in the technical field. The professional experience can also be acquired during the course of study through internships in the lecture-free period.
