Farming/Agriculture, Viniculture
ing the use of electronic control equipment to produce optimum yields. Following the needs of present-day farming and
agriculture, the field of phytomedicine,
the theory of plant diseases and disorders,
and their prevention, has taken on a much
more important role. Organic farming,
welfare-orientated animal husbandry,
and the environmentally-compatible use
of artificial fertilisers (e.g. anti-water pollution measures) plus comprehensive
agricultural training that not only teaches
the principles of organic farming but also
delivers a knowledge of marketing, corporate management and product quality (e.g.
the degree programme in organic farming) are becoming ever more important.
Practical experience/internships:

forests and global wood and forest ecosystems, and with questions of international
marketing, for example. All in all, forest
management strives to optimise wood production based on ecological considerations
while at the same time securing the protective and recreational function of woods
and forests.
The diverse range of responsibilities performed by forest managers and engineers
call for an ability to solve biological and
ecological problems and for an understanding of engineering and business
management issues, plus knowledge of
law, commercial skills and an extensive
knowledge of administration.
Universities of applied sciences programmes in forest management concentrate more on practical woodland management and operational management
of forestry measures as district forest
supervisors.
Universities have partly abolished the formal division of the basic and main study
stage.

Automotive Engineering,
Traffic and Transport Engineering
Positioned between automotive engineering and traffic route engineering, the field
of modern traffic and transport engineering deals with cross-disciplinary questions relating to the organisation of traffic
flows and the design and dimensioning
of traffic systems for passenger and goods
transport. It studies the complex interplay
between the various transport and traffic systems (motor vehicles, aircraft, rail
vehicles and ships) and develops potential
traffic planning solutions. In view of the
ever-growing volume of traffic, the field
of applied traffic engineering is a key to
ensuring our continuing mobility.

an important role, since it deals with modelling (simulation), analysing and optimising the complex information, power
engineering and automation systems. A
wide range of specialisation options are
available that are not given closer treatment here. The following are closely
related to electrical engineering: mechanical engineering, particularly precision
engineering, mechatronics and computer
science. Since the various branches are so
closely linked, students should avoid very
early specialisation. However, early experience with applications, e.g. in internships,
helps facilitate the later career entry.

Study Field Outline
Mechatronic systems have long become a
part of our everyday life. There would be
no airbags, anti-lock brake systems, photocopiers, CD players, driving simulators
or ticket machines let alone industrial
robots if several engineering disciplines
had not joined forces to build and look
ahead to the future. Mechatronics is an
interdisciplinary field within engineering
and builds on the three pillars of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and
computer science/information systems. To

Printing Technology
Programmes focus on reproduction and
composition technology, the production
of print formes, printing and finishing
processes, while packaging technology
programmes deal with the production
and application of packaging materials of all kinds (paper, cardboard, film).
This takes health-related (food, drugs,
medicine packaging) and increasingly
environmental aspects (recycling, use of
renewable resources, such as maize/corn)
into consideration. Economics-orientated
programmes have their focuses in print
industrial engineering, in publishing
house management and production, and
in advertising technology and management. This often also calls for extensive
knowledge of the necessary technical
processes; on the other hand, the abovementioned engineering-focused programmes also study the economic areas
needed by industrial/operations engineers.
Some institutions offer printing orientated
specialisation options within the scope of
general mechanical engineering or electrical engineering programmes.

ments. Automated devices, modern satellite technology and digital remote sensing
methods are being introduced. Automated
integrating, analysing, interpreting and
visual processing methods have become
ever more important given the volume
of space-related data. Hence, the degree
programme studied at many universities
is now called Geodesy and Earth Information Systems.
Engineering surveying is also important
for the field of civil engineering.
Cartography is responsible for producing
maps, the planated and scaled-down symbolic representation of parts of the Earths
surface and of processes taking place in
them. The diversity of these responsibilities calls for links with many areas of
science, such as mathematics, computer

business and industry, politics and administration in which the spatial relevance of
information plays an important part. The
acquired knowledge and insight led to the
field of GeoInformation Systems (GIS)
and so facilitated the optimal exploitation
of space and place-related data, such as
used in environmental protection, in traffic and transport management through to
state-of-the-art wireless (mobile) network
engineering and navigation satellites, and
in building and construction.
72
Surveying/Geodesy
Studies: Modules on the mathematical and
physical principles as well as on subject
areas like surveying specific data processing and CAD, geodetic computational
methods, instrument science, surveying
science, land registry cadastre and law,
land surveying and curve fitting, geoinformation systems, image processing, remote
sensing, traffic routes and civil engineering, cartography, planning science, specialisation on optional subjects. Complementary general studies modules.

cover branches of the arts and humanities (including art and music), economics,
business administration and social sciences, as well as (foreign) languages, communication, creative writing and cultural/
arts journalism, and law. Whether and, if
so, to what extent these components are
taught and which core study areas and
specialisations can be set during the studies will differ from one institution to the
next, since cultural studies currently lack
a uniform scientific research platform in
Germany.
In some cases, an aptitude test must be

Design
This includes both the production of layouts for advertising, catalogues, customer
information products, instructions, manuals and print-media products, as well as
the conception, design and production of
(audio-visual) media, such as commercials/advertising films, educational and
instructional films, multivision products,
teletext pages for advertising, PR, educational work, TV, etc. and, of course, the
creative designs and conceptions for the
optical structure of CD-ROMS, Internet
and Intranet pages, electronic kiosk systems (information systems), learning
systems, with design applying both to
the screen as well as to the user interfaces.
Numerous other training areas and fields
are available.

sion, applicants must pass an artistic-creative aptitude test. Generally, this includes
the presentation of a portfolio with
examples of the students own work plus
an artistic test. Besides this, some institutions may require applicants to complete
internships or periods of relevant practical
training of various length before they can
be admitted. Applicants who can present
proof of special artistic talent and adequate
general schooling may, under certain circumstances, be exempted from having to
meet further admissions requirements.
3.4
Stage design, scenography, theatre equipment and props, stage costumes, and other
degree programmes deliver factors essential
to the best possible visual realisation of theatre, film or TV material on stage and off,
theatre, film and TV decoration and sets and
costumes from all periods, regions of the
world or fantasy worlds. Training is complemented by science and engineering courses,
such as structural calculation/engineering,
specialist drawing, etc. Studies in the field
of costume design call for creative skills and
powers of imagination. It is advantageous
for students to hold a vocational qualification as a tailor. Degree programmes in
directing deal with the scenic interpretation
of speech/music, theatre, film, TV and radio
material. Extensive organisational responsibilities also fall on the director, such as the
development of production concepts, direction of rehearsals and work/coaching with
actors. The director works together with all
involved in a production, from stage and
lighting technicians, administrative staff via
set and costume designers and make-up artists to playwrights and performers, assistant
directors.

History
social history as well as the history of engineering and technology. The study of individual regions and areas led to subjects
like regional, national, urban/municipal
and population/demographic history
developing.
In addition, other independent subjects
evolved, such as ethnology, which deals
with the cultural and social structure
of the so-called primitive cultures and
civilisations. Ancient American studies represent a sub-branch of ethnology,
whose topics cover the highly-developed
pre-Columbian Indian cultures of America
and their successors. The fields of pre
and early history examine artefacts found
in or on the ground/territory of those
civilisations for which we have no written
sources. Studies above all have to use the
methods and procedures of archaeology
(the study of human antiquities), which is
concerned with the material legacy of the
ancient oriental, Greco-Roman, biblical
and early Christian cultures. Folklore studies (European ethnology) restricts itself to
the study and interpretation of folk culture, above all in German and European
regions.
Auxiliary historical sciences include palaeography (study of writing), diplomatics
(study of the authenticity of documents
and manuscripts), chronology (study of
time measurement), genealogy (study of
family pedigrees), sphragistics (study of
seals and signets), numismatics (study of
coins), heraldry (study of coats-of-arms),
plus sociology, economics and statistics.
Not every university offers all these disciplines or branches, which is why curricula
vary quite substantially. Normally, the core
subjects of ancient history, mediaeval history and modern history are offered everywhere. Political, cultural, sociological,
psychological and economic contexts of
history are also taken into consideration.
The diversity of historical approaches and
the locational bias inherent in historical
sources calls for historians to be good at
analysing a variety questions and interpretations from various perspectives.

Documentation
Library administration
Documentation is understood as the process of procuring and cataloguing, organising and storing documents on specific
topics (hand or machine written, printed
or drawn or embossed, stored on tape or
other electromagnetic storage media) as
well as procedures for providing information from or on the prepared documents,
including use of relevant equipment.
Documentation officers (Diplom-Dokumentar/in) are trained at universities of
applied sciences.
Archive administration
Archives collect certain written, image,
sound and film documents, maps, plans
and other information media that are no
longer required in the everyday operations of public and church authorities,
businesses and companies, radio and TV
stations or individuals, but which must
be preserved for legal or historical reasons. This archive information must be
organised and inventoried in such a way
that it remains accessible at any time for
administrative or research purposes or to
the general public (e.g. exhibitions). The
advancing digitisation increasingly calls
for skills and competencies in the fields
of data migration, databases and internet

morphological, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and text-critical analysis. Key methods and disciplines include structuralism
and semiotics, generative transformational grammar, structural and generative
semantics, text linguistics, language content analysis and communication research,
with a focus on inter-human communication. Special research areas have developed in fields such as psycholinguistics
(study of language acquisition, language
and thought), sociolinguistics (study of the
language of various social strata), pragmalinguistics (study of the effect of language
in various spheres of life).
Computer linguistics (linguistic data
processing, electronic language processing, etc.) deals with the processing of
natural language in computer systems.
It shares working areas with linguistics,
computer science and information science/technology.
The still relatively young scientific
research field of text technology deals,
inter alia, with the technological processing and information enhancement of texts.
Courses teach methods of text description
and processing that facilitate the presentation of texts in various media, the machine
processing of texts and the hypertextual
or hypermedia presentation of texts. The
simplified retrieval and usage or archiving
of texts is also a study area in this field.
Speech science, rhetoric, and phonetics
study the conditions of human communi-
92
cation from the perspective of spoken expression, i.e. are centrally concerned with
human speech and hearing. Depending on
the specialist focus of the respective degree
programmes, instrumental measurement
methods including the use of computers
(phonetics), speech education or rhetorical communication will play an important
role. Speech education develops adequate
methods of breathing, voice formation and
pronunciation/articulation for people who
mainly work with their voice under stress
conditions (professionals, such as teachers)
to prevent functional impairments of the
speech organs and/or to train speech-art
skills, e.g. in the field of performing arts.
Rhetoric promotes communication skills
by expanding the conversation and speech
skills, while pathological-therapeutic
aspects of speech sciences deal with voice
disorders and similar impairments.
3.11 Media
Study Field Outline
Since the 1980s, the media have been
seen as a growth industry that clearly
offers career fields for the future. In particular, the leaps and bounds taken in
the development of computer technology
together with the range of new telecommunications opportunities, the increase in
private TV and radio channels, in particular, and the advance of audio-visual media
and the computer (PC) have substantially
changed the living and working world.
The development of information technology and electronic media has also created
completely new forms of media and styles.

(ending with a Tonmeister/in or Toningenieur/in degree), which prepares students for positions of responsibility in the
direction and realisation of sound recordings as well as TV and radio broadcasting,
in the theatre and in other media areas.
Besides the traditional programmes that
are currently experiencing major change
and reform, above all as a result of the new
media, other programmes are also being
offered now, such as in general music
education or in rhythmics, which combine
aspects of music and movement education.
Programmes leading to a teaching qualification for positions at general education
schools also represent part of the higher
education institution remit. Besides
these institutions, music academies and
conservatoires train teachers for music
schools as well as freelance music teachers. The state and church colleges of
music also provide programmes in church
music leading to qualification with the socalled B and A examinations.
To qualify for admission to the study of
music, applicants must prove their artistic ability/aptitude for the programme in
question. The colleges hold aptitude tests
to determine an applicants qualification.
The colleges above all expect students
to have a good potential singing and
speaking voice, mastery of a main and a
secondary instrument, a good ear and a
foundation in general music theory and
harmony. Applicants who can prove outstanding musical talent can as long as

studies focus on the selected instrument
or on singing. Programmes leading to a
teaching degree generally include study
of a second subject or of minor subject(s),
plus courses in art practice, musicology,

and methodology. Music teachers are
expected to be able to pass on their inter-

are partly taught individually or in groups.
3.14 Musicology
Study Field Outline
In contrast to programmes in music practice and music education, musicology is
primarily concerned with the theoretical
and historical aspects of music. Its branches are music history (historical musicology), systematic musicology and musical
folklore and ethnology (ethnomusicology).
The history of music, which forms the
core of the study of musicology, examines
the development of music from ancient
folk music and those cultures and civilisations in which music was largely handed
down in oral traditions (music of primitive
culture and civilisations, tribal peoples).
Studies aim to provide students with the
qualifications needed for differentially
recognising, describing and analysing the
diversity of musical phenomena, and for
classifying these critically in the appropriate cultural, social and historical contexts
of their age and ours. Hence, useful minor
and complementary subjects include history, literary studies, book studies, art history, sociology, ethnology, psychology.
Studies at Universities
Basic study stage: Consolidation and
extension of the language skills gained
at grammar school, translation and style
exercises, text interpretation, acquisition of
academic/scientific research methods.
Studies at Universities
Basic study stage: The focus is on learn-
ing the relevant foreign language or languages, including earlier forms. Good language skills at the start of the studies are
only expected of students reading English
and French, while a knowledge of Latin
is very useful, above all, for the study of
French and the other Romance languages.
Students should not underestimate the
time and effort involved in learning a
foreign language. The languages of the

Central African,
Ancient American philologies
Traditionally, the study of these Far Eastern philologies has been concerned with
the classical languages and the associated
literature. Increasingly, however, these
subjects are also being offered as regional
and cultural studies, which besides dealing
with the modern language of the country,
also take into consideration political and
economic aspects. These more applied
studies are to be found, in particular, in
the field of Japanese studies on account of
the countrys leading position in the Far
East as well as, to some extent, in Sinology.
English studies
The field of English studies deals with the
language and literature of the English-
Oriental studies
The largest category of the non-European
philologies is made up of those subjects
grouped together under the heading of
oriental studies:
The languages and cultures of the
ancient Orient, such as Egyptology, Assyri-
individual universities, the Baltic languages of Latvian and Lithuanian (Baltic Studies), the Caucasian languages with Caucasian studies plus the so-called isolated
language of Albanian (Albanian studies)
are represented. For information on the
Nordic languages (Scandinavian studies,
Icelandic studies) see German studies.
Romance studies
Courses in Romance studies deal with the
Romance languages that have evolved out
of Latin (the language of ancient Rome).
This primarily includes French, Italian,
Slavonic studies
The focus of Slavonic studies is on the
languages, literatures and cultures of the
Eastern and South Eastern European peoples. These are divided into three groups:

Institutions
Studies at Universities
Studies: Bachelors programmes with
their interdisciplinary and cultural studies orientated focus offer modules that
deliver the fundamental knowledge, questions, theories and methods of historical,
systematic and empirical religious studies.
These include religious history within
the cultural studies framework, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary religious
research, Judaism, Islam and Asian religions, ancient religions and Christianity
(Christendom), methodological competencies and skills in the interpretation
of religious sources, qualitative religious
research plus the theory and practice of
empirical social research. Opportunities
for consolidation and specialisation are
given in areas like European and nonEuropean religious history, religious
contemporary culture, the museal presentation of religions, European ethnology/
cultural studies, ethnology.
Studies at Universities
Studies: Generally, the training of interpreters and translators focuses on the
selected foreign languages, supplemented
by courses in linguistics and translation
studies, linguistic computing, social sciences and cultural studies of foreign countries, plus a complementary school subject
and general studies subjects. Literary
translation programmes provide training
in two source languages and in the target
language, i.e. German. Studies cover

techniques.
Training focuses on later practice in business and industry. Studies aim to prepare
students for management positions and
specialised responsibilities in industrial
and commercial businesses, companies
and associations. Graduates hold the
qualifications needed for processing even
complex business matters from a legal and
business management perspective and for
finding practical and practicable solutions.
Main study stage: Extension and consolidation studies, some involving core
study areas and specialisation. Modules

Economic Sciences
Business administration
Business administration is concerned with
the analysis, structure, and management
of a company as well as with its economic
development. Mathematical methods
record business indicators (raw materials,
operating funds, work processes, sales
data etc.) and carry out economic efficiency calculations and assessments to allow
rational and efficient corporate management concepts to be drawn up.
Business administration is divided into
the fields of marketing, human resources,
operational research, banking, controlling,
taxation, production, materials management/logistics, and corporate management.
Business administration studies qualify
graduates for positions in business and so
focus strongly on commercial and business practice. Hence, holders of a commercial or business orientated vocational
qualification enjoy advantages both in
their studies and later in professional life.
Economics
Economics deals with the analysis and
structure of the market in a specific society as well as with the relevant legislative
frameworks. It considers questions of
economic activities in private households
and companies and their dependency on
national and international frameworks,
plus the pricing and distribution of labour,
land and capital. It describes and analyses
the function of money, economic cycles,
employment, economic cycle policy and
growth policy plus foreign trade. Math-
Economic science
Economic science is often offered as a
self-contained degree programme that
attempts to lay a greater emphasis on
the (methodological) similarity between
business administration and political
economy. For example, corporate action
calls for both business administration
skills and the ability to recognise interrelationships and contexts within the scope
of political economy. The main study stage
in economics, however, allows students to
choose between extension and consolidation studies in either business administration or economics.
Business education
Business education programmes cover
economics and business administration
as well as educational and psychological
contents. Business education above all prepares students for positions in which commercial and economic contents are taught
(e.g. for teachers at commercial colleges or
vocational schools) and so is to be seen as
a teaching degree programme.

Biology
characteristics and functions of cells; physiology, which studies the biochemical and
biophysical functions and capacities (e.g.
metabolism, intercellular communication); molecular biology, which treats the
molecular structure of organic substances
and especially the chemistry and modus
operandi of genetic factors (genes) and
proteins.
These fields are closely linked to related
disciplines like biochemistry, biophysics
and medicine. Other branches include
ethology (animal behaviour), evolution
(development of species), and ecology
(interaction and relationships between
organisms and the environment). The
human impact on the environment is
examined particularly by geoecology,
where the geosciences and chemistry,
plus biology, physics and mathematics,
play an important role.

Biotechnology, Bioengineering
the methods and techniques of engineering. On the one hand, courses focus on
genetics, molecular biology and microbiology, and on process engineering, chemical
engineering and environmental engineering, on the other. This calls for students
to have a broad-based interest in technical
and scientific contexts. They learn how to
apply their scientific-theoretical knowledge
to technical contexts or to implement the
findings of pure biotechnological research
and take modules from the fields of technical chemistry (chemical engineering),
chemical and biological reactors, instrument and plant engineering, immune
chemistry, bioprocess engineering/reactor
engineering, fermentation and processing, enzyme technology, environmental
biochemistry, bioprocess engineering/
pharmaceuticals, metabolic physiology
and ecology of micro-organisms, technical biochemistry and microbiology/biochemical engineering and microbiology,

Geography
Studies at Universities
Studies: Introductory modules into the
Regional studies have a stronger philological focus. They combine the study
of languages with the political and economic/industrial aspects of the respective
regions.
Important auxiliary and complementary
subjects for the study of geography include
basic mathematics and science disciplines
along with social and economic sciences.
The potential breadth of the subject catalogue makes it important for students
to define their core study areas and specialisations at an early stage. A knowledge
of foreign languages is indispensable,
especially since programmes very often
use specialist literature written in English
and French, even in the early stages of the
studies. Laboratory work and computeraided simulation models have become
increasingly important.

Mathematics
els theoretically, but also places the appropriate software at the disposal of the user.
The fields of business or industrial mathematics, statistics and technomathematics
have evolved from mathematics to become
independent disciplines. Both business
and industrial mathematics perform functions in almost all branches of business
and industry. Major fields of application
are to be found in insurance and finance.
Studies have a very strong practical focus.
The objective for statistics is to develop
mathematical methods for analysing
empirical data. The computer-compatible
development of mathematical models for
solving and analysing engineering problems is undertaken by technomathematics (engineering mathematics). Applied
systems science focuses on mathematical
models for applications in environmental
protection/ecology. Biomathematicians
have special knowledge in various disciplines from the field of biology as well as
the requisite basic knowledge from other
natural sciences. They define biological
or medical questions in the language of
mathematics and use or develop models
and methods to solve these.
The study of mathematics aims to enable
students to learn and master mathematical
concepts and methods. It requires an ability for abstract thinking which is a basic
requirement for those wishing to work as
mathematicians. A willingness to engage
in interdisciplinary cooperation is just as
important, and so is already considered
in the degree programmes by obliging
students to select a minor or subsidiary
subject. The chosen minor or consolidation subject will usually be chosen from

Study Field Outline
Statistical methods are indispensable
for many sciences (medicine, biology
and other natural sciences, economics,
business administration and engineering, psychology, sociology, archaeology,
education, environmental protection).
An important task for statistics lies in the
planning, execution and analysis of major
studies and experiments. Based on the
acquired numerical and measured data it
is possible to identify interrelations and
contexts, even when they have been overlaid by uncontrollable interference factors.
For example, a new drug is only approved
when its efficacy has been objectively
proven in clinical studies. The legislator
has prescribed statistical methods for the

Therapy professions
The therapy provided by all these professions respectively work fields is always
offered on the basis of medical prescriptions and diagnosis, while specialist (e.g.,
speech therapeutic) diagnosis also represents one of the areas of responsibility. All
therapy branches offer both individual as
well as group treatment.
The rehabilitation sciences, whose focus
may cover areas such as art or music
therapy, speech therapy education, or early
promotion in cases of disability, are located at the interface to the health and social
education area.
This guide includes undergraduate
programmes in music, art and speech
therapeutic fields. Applicants need to hold
an appropriate school leaving certificate
(generally the entry qualification for a
university of applied sciences). Art therapy
programmes require appropriate proof
of artistic talent and aptitude along with
the school leaving certificate, for example,
proof of having passed an entrance examination.
Besides these, consolidation and extension
courses provide the opportunity to gain a
Diplom degree in psychology education,
medical education, music education, art
education or special needs education, or a
similar qualification.
It is possible in speech therapy, ergotherapy and physiotherapy and other areas
to take dual degree programmes, where a
vocational qualification in a specific profession and an undergraduate programme
run parallel and are coordinated: in some
cases, however, an initial qualification
