Educational Programs
Undergraduate Programmes

Master's Programmes
Master programmes in Social Sciences of Sustainability
We offer master’s programs in media and communication studies, education, and global studies. The learning environment is called the Social Sciences of Sustainability, and the programs share a common focus on sustainability.
To address today’s needs and the challenges of future generations, a comprehensive approach to innovation and transformative work related to communication, education, and sustainable development is required. In some courses, students from different programs study together to gain a broader perspective on sustainability issues.
The programs are taught in English and are open to international students. Instruction is campus-based with some digital elements. The programs are offered as 1-year (60 ECTS) and 2-year (120 ECTS) options.
Independent Courses
If you want to combine work with studies or design your own degree without enrolling in a full program, we offer a wide range of independent courses. The advantage of taking independent courses is that you can focus on exactly the knowledge you’re looking for. You may want to supplement your previous education with a course related to your job, or you may simply be interested in learning something new. Perhaps you’ve never studied at university level before and are curious about what it’s like? For those looking to sharpen their expertise, we also offer advanced-level independent courses. You have great flexibility to shape your own academic profile, as long as the degree requirements are met.
Continuing Education and Professional Development
Our commissioned education includes continuing education and professional development for staff in preschools, schools, public administration, and industry.
Work-Based Placement (VFU)
Through work-based placement (VFU), students gain hands-on experience in their future professional field. A minimum of 5 weeks of VFU is included in all educational programs.
