For persons who have completed several levels of education, state all. If several degrees in one education level are present, the last degree acquired is stated.
9.g. Do you have a university degree?
If yes:
____ Year of completion
____ Subject area
Question 9f, 9g:
Under field, the derived job title should not be stated, so not engineer, but rather air traffic engineer; not technician rather metallurgical technician, for example.
In the field information of graduates of pedagogical fields, it must be identifiable that it involves teacher/pedagogical studies, so not mathematics rather secondary school teacher of mathematics; mathematics teacher.
This also applies for specialists with completed technical college and university education that have completed pedagogical post graduate studies; so not electrical engineering rather vocational school teacher of electrical engineering; teacher of the career-oriented education in electrical engineering.
Not considered finished technical college and university studies are:
Post graduate studies; guest studies; examination for the master's certificate even if it was passed at a vocational college; completion of a vocational school.
For persons who have completed several levels of education, state all. If several degrees in one education level are present, the last degree acquired is stated.
