Summary
The Masters 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 a range of 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, components of effective teaching and encourage professional learning through practitioner enquiry.
Education Studies is a discipline in its own right. While it draws on insights from different disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, political studies and international relations, economics and business studies, it entertains a very specific perspective on the world.
In education studies, we're mainly interested in the ways, personal growth and (trans)formation can be individually and socially initiated, guided and supported. Those educational processes are, of course, not restricted to contexts of formal education, e.g. schooling, but can be perceived everywhere in modern cultures.
