What is childhood? How do we learn? What constitutes upbringing? What is a good school? These questions must be seen in relation to the time we live in. Education studies are about learning in relation with people, environment and society in a changing world.


A philosophical, historical, psychological and sociological approach

Education studies are the science of central community tasks such as child raising, training, education, and teaching. These are studied from philosophical, historical, psychological, and sociological approaches, and educational science is therefore a cross-disciplinary study programme. Because education and information accumulation are central concepts in the modern society, educational studies are relevant as contributors to and critical evaluator of the general social debate. Education studies also provides scientific information and contributes to the practical achievement of child raising, training and education.

  • The use of ICT in teaching
  • New forms of teaching in school
  • Educational politics
  • Behavioral difficulties

  • The development of reading-skills among young children
  • Pedagogical consultation and mentoring
  • Social and emotional difficulties
