Education for Global Futures University of Oulu

Overview

Within University of Oulu's Education for Global Futures programme, you will have the opportunity to study in a minor called Education in Transition. This minor is offered if you have not studied education in your previous degree, or if you are simply interested in deepening your knowledge about education. If you have studied education in your previous studies, there is a number of other minors you can choose as part of your degree.

You will have the opportunity to apply your newly gained knowledge in practice, during the internship included within our programme. This will not only strengthen the work-life relevance of your studies but also build your own professional development. You will have the opportunity to find an internship in Finland or internationally in a variety of settings, such as intergovernmental agencies, non-governmental organisations, or educational institutions.

Career opportunities

The EdGlo programme is not designed for a direct or specific career path but instead, it focuses on encouraging independent thinking, transformative learning, critical analysis and self-reflections. Our student-centred approach allows students to further investigate and deepen their understanding of educational issues they are passionate about. They can then transfer their newly acquired knowledge and skills to different career paths.

As a result, the EdGlo master’s degree programme educates very flexible and adaptive graduates with competencies for working in national and international contexts in the public, private and civil society sectors.
