Training at Humboldt-Universität combines in-depth knowledge with practical experience - a place where learning really takes on meaning.
About the profession
The Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin provides training in the field of precision engineering, taking into account the special features of the university's teaching and research activities. The training is very multi-faceted and opens up a wide range of fields of activity within the metal industry: optical device construction, maintenance, prototyping, assembly, individual and series production, service, research and development.
Prerequisites
At least an advanced vocational qualification or lower secondary school leaving certificate (MSA) or equivalent level of education is required for employment. You should also have good working and social behaviour, a good grasp of things, a sense of responsibility, physical agility and a sound knowledge of mathematics and physics. If you enjoy manual work, have perhaps already completed an internship in this field, like to repair your bike or similar or build models, then you have come to the right place.
Training content
Practical training
The practical training teaches the following skills:
- Manual and mechanical production of workpieces and components from various metallic and non-metallic materials
