Voices of our students

"Combining vocational training and a degree has many advantages for me. The practical relevance is especially important to me. The curriculum is demanding, but my training company, the vocational school and the university complement each other very well."

Perspective

Skilled work in many professions requires both demanding practical skills and intensive "knowledge work": in services and industry, alongside the operational tasks there are also complex planning and management duties for which a degree provides better preparation. Conversely, commercial staff and managers in many fields, not just in the trades, also need detailed knowledge of practical professional skilled work.

It is generally expected that digitalisation will further increase the interweaving of practical and cognitive requirements. Although the share of cognitive requirements in vocational training has already risen in many professions, interlinking vocational and academic education enables the development of new competence profiles and leads to better opportunities in the labour market.

Our places of learning

Berufsschule

Der Berufsschulunterricht im BHH-Studiengang für Kaufleute für Marketingkommunikation mit Bachelorstudium der Betriebswirtschaftslehre (BWL) findet an der Beruflichen Schule für Medien und Kommunikation (BS 17) statt.

Eulenkamp 46

The vocational school provides in-depth knowledge in both theory and practice. Here, students gain a broader perspective on their occupational field that extends beyond the boundaries of their own training company. Vocational school classes are taught in dedicated groups. A total of six modules with six ECTS credit points each (36 ECTS credit points in total) can be completed at the vocational school and counted towards the Bachelor's degree. To ensure comparability between the learning fields at the vocational school and the university modules, the scope and content of the vocational school lessons are deepened and extended.

Lernort

Hochschule

An der BHH werden insbesondere akademische Kompetenzen und wissenschaftliche Methoden vermittelt. Hier sind ohne die Bachelorarbeit insgesamt 100 der 180 ECTS-Leistungspunkte unmittelbar zu erbringen. In der Grundstruktur bestehen die Bachelorstudiengänge aus fachlichen und überfachlichen Modulen sowie aus Wahl- und Pflichtmodulen. Die Studiengänge sehen neben den disziplinspezifischen Fachstudien bewusst und durchgehend auch Module vor, die disziplinäre Einzelperspektiven zusammenführen. Ein bedeutender Anteil des Studiums (30 ECTS-Leistungspunkte) umfasst die Entwicklung fachübergreifender Kompetenzen, die sich u.a. auf Kontexte des wirtschaftlichen Handelns beziehen. Die Module des Wahlbereichs bieten den Studierenden insbesondere die Möglichkeit einer branchenspezifischen Vertiefung.

Lernort

Unternehmen

Im Unternehmen sammeln die Studierenden konkrete berufspraktische Erfahrungen. Insgesamt sollen 32 ECTS-Leistungspunkte über die betriebliche Praxis erbracht werden, dazu ist je Jahr ein Praxis-Theorie verschränkendes Modul „Validierung von Praxis“ vorgesehen, das aus jeweils 12 ECTS-Leistungspunkten besteht, davon acht ECTS-Leistungspunkte Praxis plus vier ECTS-Leistungspunkte hochschulische Reflexion und Validierung. Damit verbindet sich insbesondere die Zielsetzung, theoretische Erkenntnisse sowie praktische Erkenntnisse und Erfahrungen zueinander in Beziehung zu setzen. Jedes dieser Praxismodule schließt mit einer Modulprüfung ab, wobei die Prüfungsberechtigung bei den Lehrenden der Hochschule liegt.
