Study program structure and content
The NwT study program is interdisciplinary, and you receive foundational training in the natural and engineering sciences. The focus here is, on the one hand, on causal questions in the natural sciences: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. This includes acquiring knowledge through scientific methods such as observation and experimentation. On the other hand, you gain a solid insight into the diversity of engineering sciences. Here, the focus is on application-oriented relevance and methods and techniques such as design, modeling, and simulation.
Sociological and ecological interrelations between science and technology are highlighted in technology and environmental sociology. The integration of the study content occurs at the end of the Bachelor's program through courses in subject didactics. In a school context, subject knowledge and didactic questions are integrated and applied in independent projects. The teacher training program also includes several modules from educational sciences, which deal with questions of upbringing and education. In addition, you will complete a three-week orientation internship at a school during your studies.
Further course content depends on the chosen second subject. NwT can be studied in combination with Biology, Chemistry, or Physics.

Images from the study program
Get a glimpse of how the study program works:
The general knowledge transfer in the NwT program takes place through lectures, …
…which are typically supported by exercises or tutorials that complement the lecture material. The knowledge from the lectures is applied and practiced here by tackling specific problems and tasks.
Course content, such as lectures and exercises are always organized together as modules. These can span one or two semesters, for example, a two-semester lecture with its accompanying exercises. Each module is concluded with an exam, and students typically prepare for this in study groups.
In scientific and engineering laboratory sessions, you deepen your understanding through experiments you conduct independently. You acquire initial skills in conducting, analyzing, and presenting scientific and engineering experiments and methods.
In subject didactics, you link your subject knowledge with didactic questions in an interdisciplinary manner in a seminar and independently carry out initial projects in a school context.
