Applied Socio-Pedagogical Educational Research (M.A.)

Applied Socio-Pedagogical Educational Research - A research-oriented Master’s degree

Applied Socio-Pedagogical Educational Research explores how successful educational processes are initiated and shaped in the global context against the background of social structures. The programme is trans-disciplinary. In addition to subject-specific pedagogical, sociological and management-related approaches, historical and philosophical perspectives also play an important role.

Programme objectives

This Master programme acts as the interface between the acquisition of professional skills on the one hand and an academic qualification on the other. It aims to enhance students’ knowledge of research methodology so they are able to carry out application-related practical research independently and on the basis of pedagogical principles.

This full-time programme awards 90 Credits (workload 750 hrs per semester).
