• insight into instructional psychology, intercultural education, school development, professional and continuing education and educational policies.

Through lectures, assignments and research seminars, theexperienced teaching staff will provide you with an overview of basic theories and recent developments in the field of educational studies. In your master’s thesis you get the opportunity to work with KU Leuven professors on their research.

Beyond fine-tuning your theoretical insights, you will come to grips with macro-, meso- and micro-processes, as well as methodological skills. Your research-based master's thesis will help you to both develop your aptitude for scholarship in the field and to contribute to it at the same time.

The programme broadened my knowledge and deepened my concern regarding pertinent educational issues. The programme also helped improve my research skills.
