Master of Education (M.Ed.)

The Master of Education in Computer Science deepens subject knowledge and develops the pedagogical, didactic, and practical skills required to teach computer science at Gymnasium level. The programme offers close integration of advanced subject studies with subject-specific didactics, educational sciences, and school-based training. By combining computer science with a second teaching subject, the programme provides research-informed and practice-oriented preparation for the diverse demands of the teaching profession. Students strengthen their disciplinary expertise while developing the pedagogical and reflective skills needed for effective teaching. The programme equips students for the preparatory service and a career teaching computer science at Gymnasien, while also providing a foundation for educational research and related fields.
