The working groups of the Institute for Vocational Studies in the Building Trade are oriented towards the training needs of the vocational specialisations represented by the Institute. This applies in particular where subject-specific and subject-didactic content cannot be provided elsewhere in the faculty and the university within the framework of the subject-to-subject orientation of vocational teacher training at Leibniz Universität Hannover.
Oriented to the training of vocational teachers in the vocational fields of colour technology and interior design and wood technology are the working groups on materials chemistry and coating technology and wood technology; the necessary subject didactic training and research will soon be represented by the working group on the subject didactics of construction. The training of the professional specialisation of construction engineering is ensured by all working groups in cooperation with the architecture training of the faculty.
