Our teaching
The academic teaching of adult education and continuing education aims to convey the findings of adult education research as well as well-founded and relevant statements from individual disciplines. It also aims to open up access to practice.
Teaching aims to support students in developing their own learning paths, to enable them to create scientific knowledge and insights and to encourage them to engage in further education.
Degrees are currently possible in the Master's degree program as Master of Arts and further in the doctorate as Dr. phil./Dr.in phil.
Career orientation
Like every university degree program in Austria, the Adult and Continuing Education specialization prepares students for a career. It is therefore not possible to guarantee a job after graduation. However, contacts can be made during the course for those interested in a future career in this field. As part of the course, an attempt is made to establish a special proximity to practice - to the institutions of adult education.
