Social pedagogy in education, further education and training (Master)

This page contains automatically translated content.

Educational services in schools and daycare centers can only be as good as the trained specialist staff. And this is increasingly in demand, especially in the preschool sector, because the importance of the education sector for social work has increased enormously in recent years. In this context, the master's degree program "Social Pedagogy in Training, Further Education and Continuing Education" at the University of Kassel qualifies for a better training of trainers in terms of subject theory as well as subject didactics and professional practice.

Graduates are prepared in terms of content and methodology for the demands of teaching and lecturing in the vocational school system or in the area of further education and training in child and youth welfare. Overall, the program is characterized by a close linkage of social, childhood and school pedagogical expertise with subject didactic content and professional practice.

Even though the master's degree program "Social Pedagogy in Training, Further Education and Continuing Education" is not a classic teacher training program, the degree enables students to apply for a lateral entry into the teacher training program in order to be able to work at state-run, vocational schools. The professional qualification is associated with a special profile, which offers good job market prospects.
