Framework:
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
The compulsory subjects of the field of study cover the interdisciplinary, methodological basis of the science of education (philosophical, sociological, psychological, cultural-historical, political, managerial) and subjects that justify the theoretical and applied foundations of the individual’s education in childhood and adulthood (mature age). The subjects of the field of education studies are intended to expand interdisciplinary knowledge and abilities, to critically evaluate and select knowledge, justifying its functional effectiveness in making decisions in complex educational situations. They are necessary for independent and creative application of existing and acquired knowledge in a constantly changing environment. The specialisations of the field of study include: A) Education Management: disciplines that form the latest knowledge of education management, abilities needed to make research-based decisions, create management strategies of a responsible educational organisation, leadership-based models; B) Children’s Rights Protection Management: disciplines that form the latest knowledge of children’s rights protection management, which is necessary to solve the problems of children’s rights protection. These specialisations are intended to understand the methodology of separate branches of education (Education Management and Children’s Rights Protection Management), to acquire ideas necessary for the competences of an educational researcher in that field and abilities necessary for choosing the direction of improvement in various fields of education science. The research work is intended for the application of acquired theoretical and practical knowledge in the preparation of the Master’s final thesis in a specific problem of the science and practice of education, demonstrating the competences of a researcher-analyst, critical thinking and activity.
Specialisations:
A holder of the Master’s degree with the specialisation of Education Management has modern education in Education Sciences, knows the strategic and legal foundations of the education system and organisations, is able to design and implement the development strategies of educational organisations, is able to manage educational and organisational processes in conditions of change, competently organise scientific research activities, perform managerial work in various types of educational institutions.

Optional courses:
It is possible to deepen the acquired knowledge by choosing a specialization.
Distinctive features of a study programme:
The programme responds to the development of the science of education at inter and intra levels: on the basis of the programme, the science of education is studied on the basis of inter-branch (social sciences, humanities) and interdisciplinary (social sciences) relations; the development and branches of the education science system are taken into account (Education Management, Comparative Education). Study of the subjects of the programme enables the acquisition of knowledge and abilities, significant in realizing the individual’s learning processes throughout life (Childhood Education, Andragogy), the application of the most advanced personality-oriented systems of the individual’s education (Educational Systems and Innovations). The management activities of the institute of education and organisations are studied, developing a democratic culture and relations with other institutes that ensure equal opportunities for students to quality education (specialisations: Education Management or Children’s Rights Protection Management). The programme is focused on the complex nature of educational activities, which includes not only education or training, but also consulting, expertise, and research.
