Master's in Education and Learning

The Master's in Education and Learning reflects the University of Turku's long-standing commitment to educational research, teacher education, and academic excellence. The programme benefits from Finland's strong reputation in education and provides students with access to research-based teaching and modern learning approaches.

Students study educational theory, learning sciences, research methods, and educational development through coursework and research projects. The programme encourages independent thinking, academic inquiry, and practical application of educational knowledge. International students contribute to a multicultural learning environment where different educational perspectives are discussed and examined.

Graduates gain knowledge and skills that support careers in educational institutions, government agencies, non-governmental organisations, research centres, training organisations, and international education projects. Many graduates continue into doctoral studies or professional roles focused on educational development and research. The programme continues to attract students from around the world who are interested in educational improvement and lifelong learning.

Applicants must hold a recognised bachelor's degree or an equivalent qualification from a higher education institution. The degree should provide an academic background suitable for master's-level studies in education or related fields.

International students may work part-time during their studies according to Finnish residence permit regulations. Full-time work is generally permitted during official holiday periods.
