Objectives
The programme provides students with structured educational opportunities and gives them the freedom to develop their own intellectual interests.
English-language-based, the programme distinctively unites social scientific analysis of education and social systems and policies at local, national, European, and global levels. It combines historical, cultural, political, educational and sociological perspectives on educational institutions and organisations as well as their conditions and their consequences.
Students are provided with the ability to analyse changes in ideas, institutions and organisations caused by social, economic and political integration and compare the development of educational and social policies, schooling and social services across time and space.
They acquire the necessary skills to act as experts in academic fields of study (social sciences, education, social and educational policy) and engage in developing policies.
Learning Outcomes
Students work intensively with mentors and peers to develop their knowledge and skills. At the end of the programme students will:
-acquire critical understandings of and review research related to fields of study in the social and educational sciences
-follow and engage in debates on changing societies
-acquire and expand your knowledge of social inequalities and welfare state regimes
-compare, critique and plan reforms of education and social service systems
