Who We Are - the Institute of Educational Sciences

The Institute of Educational Sciences is made up of the Departments of Education, of School Education and the Seminar of Media Education. Our team consists of nine professors and twenty research assistants.

It is involved in the training of future teachers and educators who do not practice in schools and supports the school-related Bachelor and Master degree courses, the non school-related Master of Educational Sciences "Education in Europe" and the German diploma (Diplom) degree course of Educational Sciences (Pädagogik) (discontinued).

The Institute of Educational Sciences has a broad research profile and covers areas such as professionalisation, school and non-school fields of action, social heterogeneity, lifespan development as well as an examination of education and socialisation related issues.
