Education professionals increasingly work with multinational and diverse groups of learners. This raises an important question: How can educators best prepare for this challenge?
The M.A. International Education and Global Learning enables students to develop the knowledge and skills needed to support learning in a globalised world. Through practical seminars and internships - partly conducted abroad - students engage with real-world case studies to explore pedagogical concepts that open doors to international education and exchange opportunities. The programme also provides critical insight into current global education trends and policies.
This intensive, one-year master´s degree is delivered entirely in English. It integrates flexible teaching formats with a compulsory international internship, thus ensuring academic rigour as well as professional applicability and relevance.

Graduates are well-positioned for roles in:
The programme comprises two module areas and the master's thesis:
The seminars “Concepts of Learning and Leadership in International Comparison” and “Engaging International Education Research Methods and Design” provide the theoretical framework for your studies. In the second semester, you will complete a six-week mandatory internship with international focus, accompanied by the Field Atelier seminar, which links academic reflection with practical experience.
You can choose one or two out of three modules that connect intercultural learning, multilingualism, and global perspectives on sustainable development. Students whose prior education was not conducted in German can also take a German as a Foreign Language course at the Language Centre.
All students have to complete a master's thesis in English. Alongside the thesis, students will take part in a Research Atelier.
As part of the module "Concepts and Practices of International Education", students are required to complete an internship with an internationalisation focus lasting at least six weeks. You will receive support throughout the process, including during your search and application, throughout the internship itself, and the de-briefing phase.
