The master's in Educational Sciences prepares you for a career as a researcher and academic professional in the field of education.
You can choose from two tracks within the master's:
- Onderwijsinnovatie (Dutch-taught, full-time or part-time)
How can you improve education in practice? All things put into practice have impact. That is why scientific research plays a central role in finding solutions to practical problems and testing whether these solutions really work. This requires understanding education as a whole: knowing what is needed at different levels of educational improvement and how to contribute to that. - Learning in Interaction (English-taught, full-time or part-time)
Interaction is the engine of learning and development, and therefore the key to improving education. Interaction does not only mean interpersonal interaction, as interaction also takes place between humans and learning environments, and with yourself. This master's track zooms in on the complex processes by which we learn academic subjects, develop cognitive and metacognitive skills, and acquire social competences.
The master's starts in September and February. Please note: In February only in full-time, with the last inflow in 2024.
Together with other programmes in our faculty, we are involved in the interdisciplinary research master Behavioural and Social Sciences.

track Learning in Interaction
How do students learn in schools? What role do individual differences play in learning? How can you improve learning environments to optimally help students learn and develop?
Common to all processes referred to in the questions above, is that they take place while and because we interact. Interaction is the motor of learning and development, and therefore key to improving education.While we all can recognize these interactions, in this master’s track you will learn to take a scientific, evidence-based approach to better examine these day-to-day interactions. This master zooms in on the complex processes through which we learn academic subjects, develop cognitive and meta-cognitive skills, and acquire social competencies.Different theoretical perspectives and didactic approaches come together in this master’s track. You will understand learning processes in context, and be capable to examine the challenges that arise in optimizing learning environments to learners' needs.You can also follow this program part-time.

objectives
Within the Dutch programme Onderwijskunde, there is a seperate English taught Master's degree programme - Educational Sciences: Educational Effectiveness and Instructional Design. This teaches you to analyze education from a system's point of view. This results in attention for the context, input, process and outcomes of education. Central in this view is attention for ways to improve education and issues related to the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of education.study guidance
