Teaching profile
The Institute of Educational Science at the University of Regensburg offers student-orientated teaching that combines fundamental pedagogical knowledge with application-related skills. The focus is on topics such as education across the lifespan, learning in formal and informal contexts, counselling and intervention as well as the reflective design of pedagogical practice.
The Bachelor's degree programme provides a broad basic education in education-related fields of action and places particular emphasis on practical relevance, methodological skills and individual profile development. In the Master's programme, students deepen their knowledge and specialise, setting their own priorities and preparing themselves for demanding jobs in education, counselling and organisation.
The combination of flexible study structures, close supervision and the opportunity to combine personal interests with career prospects is characteristic of the programme, which clearly sets it apart from more standardised programmes at other universities.
