Starting your Master's programme well informed
On the master's programme in Education, you will be able to deepen your knowledge of the fundamentals, terminology and epistemologies of educational science in order to develop your own ideas and interpretations. Graduates will have a broad, detailed and critical understanding of one or more specialist areas of Education, which will also enable you to devise solutions to problems in new and unfamiliar situations.
Once you have been successfully admitted, the Directorate of Studies (SPL) is responsible for the programme content and compliance with study law, whilst the StudiesServiceCenter (SSC) is responsible for the organisational and administrative aspects of the degree programme.
An overview of the most important information regarding the start of your degree programme can be found on this page.

Admission and supplementary examinations
The admission requirements are:
- Completion of an eligible degree programme in a relevant subject area from a bachelor's programme or an equivalent degree programme at a recognised domestic or foreign university or university of applied sciences.
- Information on the eligible degree programmes can be found in the Master Access Guide.
- For all other degree programmes, the Directorate of Studies (SPL) will assess the subject-relatedness of the subject area and the equivalence of the qualification once the application for admission has been submitted. If equivalence is generally recognised, but only a few additional requirements are needed to achieve full equivalence, admission may be granted upon completion of supplymentary examinations totalling a maximum of 30 ECTS credits, which must be taken during the course of study.
