MSc Education Studies

The Masters's course in Education Studies introduces the most important questions and problems by which the discipline of education studies is characterised, along with the methodologies and methods used to answer those questions. In addition to the core modules designed to give you a solid foundation for understanding educational processes, you'll have the flexibility to choose a pair of modules from various specialist classes to meet your personal and professional needs. This includes a pair of work-based learning modules where you can explore how learning works and the components of effective teaching and encourages professional learning through practitioner inquiry.

Education Studies is a discipline in its own right. While it draws on insights from different fields, such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, political studies and international relations, economics and business studies, it entertains a particular perspective on the world.

In education studies, we're mainly interested in how personal growth and (trans)formation can be individually and socially initiated, guided, and supported. Those educational processes are not restricted to formal education contexts, e.g. schooling, but can be perceived everywhere in modern cultures.
