Master’s Programme Educational Sciences

The Master’s programme is designed to enable the systematic acquisition of key competences. The acquired key competences enable the graduates to actively and creatively use their specific competences and to adapt to fast changing general conditions.

The Master’s programme is concluded with an advanced and specialised academic degree. It imparts the current state of research in educational sciences with a focus on social reality and social heterogeneity. Graduates are able to understand and explain the interrelations of age, class, disability, gender, race and sexual orientation as different dimensions of social inequality and to apply their knowledge in different professional contexts. Based on their acquired knowledge (factual knowledge, analytic-theoretical and methodological and critical-reflective knowledge), they are able to argument and judge and to work on specific problems of their respective professional field scientifically based and oriented towards practice or research.

Graduates are able to apply their acquired knowledge and key competences in new or familiar environments within multi-disciplinary professional contexts. They are able to produce knowledge, develop original and conceptional ideas and to constructively contribute to interdisciplinary discourses. They have learnt to integrate their knowledge and to deal with complexity. They can formulate assessments in consideration of ethical and societal responsibility, even if information is incomplete and to communicate exact and differentiated with interested laypersons as well as experts.
