General Overview

The Master of Educational Science has three elective areas I, II, III. In each elective area, one sub-area with German-language modules and one sub-area with English-language modules are offered. Thus, you can complete the program entirely in German or entirely in English. You decide anew in each elective area whether you choose the German-language sub-area or the English-language sub-area. Students who study all elective areas in English and complete one semester at the University of Padua have the opportunity to earn a double-degree.

For up-to-date information on the various versions of the program, as well as associated degree plans, subject-specific regulations, and how to apply, please visit the Institute of Pedadogy website.

The international range of studies constitute supplemental offerings. All exams with the focus on Adult and Continuing Education can be taken in German with Professor Egetenmeyer. All seminars (in modified order) can also be attended in German.

Therefore, your English speaking and writing skills will have NO immediate effect on the module exam and grade.

Students who have no command of English, are offered individual solutions. Please see Professor Egetenmeyer on this during consultation-hour.

If you want an advanced focus on international adult education, we offer you the possibility of a separate certificate ‘International Adult Education`.

This gives you verification of your international and English-speaking skills in Adult and Continuing Education. Further reference can be found under 'International Adult Education'.

The application for Master of Education is possible yearly until the 15th of July. You can find more information about the application on the homepage of the Chair of systematic education.
