New Master International Education” at the University of Passau from summer 2026!

The University of Passau will start a new master's degree program entitled “International Education and Global Learning” in the summer semester of 2026. This innovative course of study is primarily aimed at educational professionals, especially (prospective) teachers, who want to prepare for the challenges of multinational and diverse learning groups. The Master, which is offered in English, is unique in Germany and responds to the globalized requirements in the education sector. Applications for this pioneering course of study will be accepted from November 2025, giving those interested the opportunity to prepare early.

A central goal of the master's program is to prepare students for positions at foreign schools or international educational institutions. The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience and enables students to develop didactic concepts and strategies in practical seminars based on international case studies. The modules also provide insights into current global education trends and education policy, which is crucial for professional development.

Course structure and study formats

The master's degree program is characterized by a short period of study and flexible teaching formats. An integrated internship abroad complements the curricular offering and enables students to gain international experience. In addition, much of the teaching is offered in hybrid formats, meaning that students experience both face-to-face and online learning elements. The course can be completed within a year, which makes it very attractive.

For those interested, there will be a webinar on November 5th at 6 p.m. where the details of the master's degree program will be presented. Registration for this can be done via the University of Passau website in order to provide future students with comprehensive information.
