Tipps und Entscheidungshilfen für die Ausbildungswahl

Many schools that offer courses leading to the Matura for adults / Matura for adults also offer part-time courses. However, there are also day schools or half-day schools, depending on the needs of the students. The baccalaureate for adults enables adults to obtain a baccalaureate, which is required for admission to universities or universities of applied sciences. This second educational pathway of the adult baccalaureate is mainly taken by adults who have completed a vocational apprenticeship and would like to gain a broad general education in order to be able to study at a university of applied sciences. Those who have completed a vocational baccalaureate can obtain the baccalaureate in a shortened course of study or take a special supplementary examination called the "Passerelle". However, prior school attendance is not mandatory for the Matura examination and thus for the Matura for adults.
The Matura for adults is offered by various public or private schools. Depending on the school, students can choose different specializations such as languages, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, economics and law. The duration, costs and individual preparation time depend on the type of school chosen:
- Full-time teaching: teaching takes place in classes and in all-day schools
- Part-time teaching: teaching takes place during individual days of the week and in the evenings - this makes it possible to work part-time at the same time
- Distance learning: students acquire the Matura subject matter largely through self-study - block courses deepen the subjects and provide feedback on their own learning progress
