Possible career opportunities
Graduates will be well placed to take up a wide range of pedagogical and didactic leadership positions in the Luxembourg education system, including but not limited to instituteur spécialisé positions. The graduates will be particularly well equipped to provide advice and leadership on matters of governance in education. Following international trends in teacher professionalisation, the Luxembourg fundamental education ecosystem is gradually complementing its teaching staff—traditionally generalist teachers in fundamental education—with specialised teachers (and other specialists). Those recent developments, in combination with both prevalent teacher shortage and pressing (inter)national educational challenges ensure stable employment and fast-growing professional opportunities for future graduates.
