Part-time Master's Programmes

Adult education is a diverse field of work and research that is constantly evolving. The part-time Master’s programme in Adult Education offers you up-to-date academic guidance, tried-and-tested concepts for practical educational work, and professional tools for planning and developing continuing education and professional development programmes. Flexible standard duration of study makes it easier to study whilst working. 

With our specialised modular system, we offer you the opportunity to enrol on our degree programmes after first completing a manageable range of continuing professional development courses in the form of Certificates of Advanced Studies (CAS). Most CAS programmes are also programme modules and have the same entry requirements as the corresponding Master’s programmes. You can find the exact entry requirements on the pages for the respective programmes. You are also welcome to arrange a consultation.

Those working with older people should have the skills to support educational programmes and social initiatives in a way that is appropriate to their age. Older people generally have a wealth of experience to draw upon. Integrating this potential into the educational process in a meaningful and structured way requires comprehensive knowledge of geragogy. In this part-time degree programme, geragogical skills are taught, reflected upon and further developed through a close integration of theory and practice, based on current pedagogical research.
