Overview

The Educational Sciences MSc program from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) key facts:

A master's degree opens doors in many different branches and sectors. You'll be able to work in the private sector, (non-)governmental organisations, or continue your academic career as a PhD researcher. As an educational scientist, you can take a leading or advising role in educational offices for the government, an NGO, a company, or institutions for higher education. Here, you'll use your management and research skills and apply your theoretical and professional knowledge.

The master's degree in educational sciences is a specialised program and contains no further specialisations. The program consists of compulsory and elective courses. The latter can be freely chosen and form the basis for further profiling, but are not linked to fixed graduation tracks.

Accreditation

All degree programs offered by VUB are accredited by the Dutch-Flemish Accreditation Organisation (NVAO), ensuring that they meet the highest predefined quality standards. Alongside this official quality control system, VUB has an internal Quality Control Commission in charge of permanently monitoring the quality of education.
