Education (master's programme)

During the master's programme in Education, you will deepen your knowledge of the fundamentals, terminology and epistemologies of educational science in order to develop your own ideas and interpretations. As a graduate, you will have a broad, detailed and critical understanding of one or more specialist areas of educational science, which will also enable you to devise solutions to problems in new and unfamiliar situations.

What is it about?

Join us in exploring processes of upbringing and education. This master's programme comprises three compulsory modules in which you will consolidate your understanding of the fundamentals of educational science, the philosophy of science and research methods in educational science. You will work in a research-oriented, reflective and practice-oriented manner.

Would you like to specialise your studies in a specific area? Set your own individual areas of focus and explore questions relating to developmental processes, socialisation, assessment and inclusive education.
