Master Education
What the M.A. Education is about
Lifelong learning has become part of the self-understanding of our society. Accordingly, there is a constant demand for general and vocational further education as well as educational advice. The thus connected consideration of teaching and learning processes covers all ages, constantly extending the field of employment and the demand of thus-trained educationalists. The consecutive Master course reacts perfectly to this necessity. It focusses on different issues and problems which, from the point of view of adult/further education and general educational science, prove to be significant for the design and development of different learning and educational processes.
