Ethics of Education: Philosophy, History and Law
Many of the issues involved in social and professional discussions on youth and education require an interdisciplinary approach. But why and how does this approach work?
In education, upbringing and youth care there are a number of different interests to consider. These interests, of the children, their parents, the groups to which they belong (e.g. religious or ethnic minorities), and the interests of society are often difficult to define and they can often be at odds with each other.
Educational professionals need to have the competences to analyse and discuss moral, legal and policy-related issues. Some of them need to be extra-proficient in this area in order to be able to advise other professionals, managers, policy makers, politicians, and governments. The Ethics of Education Master's course provides the right learning environment to enable you to develop this extra expertise. You will acquire the relevant competences and learn to apply these in the professional contexts of research, policy making and consultancy.
In the Master track Ethics of Education you learn to analyse moral issues and discussions in order to design policies and procedures and to take decisions.

1) In the thematic line, you explore four domains in the courses:
Ethics - introduces you to theories on ethics and moral issues.
Children's rights - the best interests of the child must be paramount. But how do we determine what is in the best interest of the child?
Development of citizenship - There is much controversy over the nature of good citizenship and how education and training can contribute to its development.
Professionalization - Scientification and professionalization influence working methods in education, in child and youth care, and impact how children and youth are perceived and treated.

Domain Specific Skills - prepares you to work successfully as an academic professional in a wide range of educational institutions, in youth care and organizations.
