The Master’s Degree Program “Educational Sciences: Curriculum and Teaching” aims to prepare teachers and researchers who can effectively respond to the contemporary challenges of education and the ever-changing social and learning needs. The program offers a comprehensive theoretical, research and practical background in Curriculum Studies, focusing on the processes of planning, implementing and evaluating teaching in modern learning environments.

Through the study of the most recent research findings, students delve into the concepts of learning, teaching, evaluation and educational policy, while developing critical thinking, creativity and educational design skills. Particular emphasis is placed on the development of innovative approaches that incorporate interdisciplinarity, new technologies and the connection of education with contemporary social challenges.

Upon completion of their studies, graduates acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to design, implement and evaluate effective learning experiences for different populations of learners. At the same time, they can work in educational organizations, education and training bodies, educational policy organizations and research centers. The research dimension of the program also offers a strong foundation for continuing studies and engaging in educational research at the doctoral level.

Upon completion of their studies, students are expected to:
