Two programme options
The new program «Master in Education» consists of two separate specialisations, which students choose between: Higher Education Studies (HES), and Education and Social Change: Childhood and Youth Studies (ESCY). All students will first be introduced to ‘The Norwegian Education System in its Nordic Context’, through a joint course. This topic will be a reference point throughout both the specialisations.
The new and renewed
For those of you already familiar with the master’s programme Higher Education, you can rest assure that the program will continue as a specialisation within the new program, renewed and revamped in accordance to newer research in the field and valuable feedback we have received from our students. This specialisation combines higher education governance, policy and organisation on the one hand and teaching and learning process on the other. It is the perfect match for anyone looking to work within the field of higher education as a researcher, administrator, policy-maker, just to name a few.
The brand new specialisation “Education and Social Change: Childhood and Youth Studies” (ESCY) is an interdisciplinary programme option which uniquely ties together the concepts ‘Education’, ‘Social Change’, ‘Childhood’ and ‘Youth’. This programme option will address questions such as how children and youth experience and shape social change today, and situated within the ‘Nordic model’.
International recruitment
We are eager to recruit both local and international students, as the combination is an asset to our program. Our Department has a long tradition with welcoming international students to our studies. This group of students represents a very important asset as they bring new ideas, as well as academic and cultural experience into our study environment. Both our academic and administrative staff are therefore eager and happy to welcome the first cohort of international students to Master in Education in August 2022!
