MA LLL – European Master’s in Lifelong Learning

Course: MA LLL – European Master’s in Lifelong Learning: Policy and Management

Course description: The European Masters in Lifelong Learning: Policy & Management is run by three of Europe’s leading institutions in educational research: The Danish School of Education, University of Aarhus, the Institute of Education, University of London and the University of Deusto, Bilbao (Spain). The three universities have pooled their expertise to provide an individually oriented perspective, a global approach and a strong focus on quality.

The programme is based around a series of modules, focusing on either policy or management. Students begin the course in either Denmark or the UK (two semesters), and all students will spend their third semester in Spain. Students may choose at which of the three institutions they will spend their fourth semester while writing their dissertation. This Master’s Course aims to train professionals to design and develop educational policies concerned with Lifelong Learning (LLL). Graduates of this Course will be able to promote innovative LLL systems that are suited to the social and organisational context in which they are undertaken.

Students will develop the competences required to mediate between the educational community and the needs of the local environment. They will learn to advise organisations on the planning, implementation, evaluation, supervision, and control of training mechanisms in LLL. The Course will develop students’ familiarity with the theories, methods and perspectives of comparative education, learning, and LLL. They will also develop systemic competences related to management, quality, creativity and leadership.

The language of instruction is English. Students are awarded a joint degree which is recognised by all consortium partners. Applicants to the Master’s Course must have a good first degree (in the humanities or social sciences) or an equivalent qualification, and a satisfactory level of spoken and written English.
