The Master’s Programme in Education: Educational Theory (Two-Year) at Malmö University is a specialized, research-oriented postgraduate degree designed to provide deep theoretical, historical, and philosophical perspectives on the role of education in shaping human subjects and modern societies. Taught entirely in English within the Faculty of Education and Society, this programme awards a Master of Arts (120 ECTS) in Educational Theory. It is uniquely structured for educators, educational developers, and social scientists seeking to move beyond functional pedagogy to critically question the ethical, political, and institutional conditions of teaching, upbringing, and schooling. The curriculum is embedded within active research groups, including Philosophical Studies of Education and Childhood and Education. The first semester investigates foundational questions of what education is through courses in History and Theories of Education (15 ECTS) and Perspectives on Teaching and the Teacher (15 ECTS). The second semester delves into individual transformation and pedagogical relations through Education and Formation (15 ECTS) and Pedagogical Relations (15 ECTS). The third semester examines the contested intersection between education, ethics, democracy, and political ideology alongside advanced research methodology and philosophy of science. The degree culminates in the fourth semester with an independent Master’s Thesis (30 ECTS), conducting original scholarly inquiry into educational philosophy or contemporary educational dilemmas.
