The Master's Programme in Education with International and Comparative specialisation is transdisciplinary, international, and comparative. It aims at providing better understanding and skills in analysing learning and educational phenomena in different societies and cultures, and at providing a holistic perspective on learning, teaching, and education. Enrolled students acquire a transdisciplinarity developed from the theory of social sciences, with a focus on comparison from international and transcultural perspectives where issues related to development are also given particular importance. The overall aim is to provide knowledge within the field of international and comparative education. The programme begins every autumn and is 4 terms (2 years) in total.
