Subjects with General Educational Value (AW-Fächer)
For students who find their regular studies still not to be enough, or only want to look
beyond their specialist horizons, are welcome to attend an AW-Fach. A clever combination
of some of them leads to additional training with certificate:
• ADA-Certificate: An alternative to the Instructer Certificate of the IHK (chamber of
industry and commerce)
• Agent of Immission Control: Prescription by some companies
• Safety Engineer: Also a prescription sometimes
• Engineer as Businessman: a nice thing if you want to become self-employed
• International Competence: 2 Semesters additional training in cooperation with the
university. Advisable for globetrotters
• Oral Communication (at university)
• Methodological- and Social Competence: nice
• Language Courses: A lot available. And even more at the university (ZSK)
• Technical Sales and Distribution: Makes sense not only if you want to strike a new
path
Virtual University Bavaria (vhb)
vhb is a network of university colleges in Bavaria on the internet. All the different university
colleges should offer diverse lectures online. Thus, the virtual university supplements
the range of lectures of elective subjects with general educational value.
The variety of lectures is enormous and extensive. However, the quality of the lectures
varies greatly.
To be able to use the offers of the vhb, you have to immatriculate under http://www.vhb.
org/. Hereby you need the Novell-Identification of the university. Moreover, just like at
the real Hochschule, you have to re-register. But only at the semesters you want to enroll
in lectures.
Partly you can credit lectures of the vhb-offers as AW-Fächer. The examination board
liable for your field of studies can provide you more information on this.
