Careers

The MSc Education Studies is designed for people who wish to explore a diverse range of issues and perspectives that make up education. The course prepares for professional careers which are dependent on a thorough and critical understanding of educational processes in their cultural context and the ways in which they contribute to the formation of the individual person.

As such, it addresses educational and formational processes not only with regard to formal education, i.e. schooling, but is concerned with all forms of education, that is: with all processes where the learning and (trans)formation of a person is initiated, guided, or supported.

The degree is not a teaching qualification but can enhance career opportunities in the broader field of education. It supports careers in all cultural fields where people are engaged in learning and are aspiring to some sort of personal transformation, eg:

• museums
• galleries
• the arts
• publishing houses
• youth work
• sports clubs
• all institutions involved with professional learning and training
