Studies in Germany repeatedly show a need for improving teaching and learning in all age groups and grades. What these areas could and should look like in the future is just one of the topics covered by the University of Hamburg’s master’s degree in “Educational and Educational Science”. Students have the opportunity to set a focus by choosing a profile:


  • "Participation and Lifelong Learning (PuLL)": aims to qualify students for cross-sectional pedagogy and politics that do justice to the different target groups in their idiosyncrasies and their heterogeneity
  • "Educational Theory and Empirical Educational Research (BuEB)": offers an innovative combination of two well-established orientations of educational science: educational theory and empirical educational research. In doing so, he aims at the high social and educational policy need for empirically founded knowledge about upbringing, socialization and educational processes.


The course is intended to convey the current level of knowledge in the subject and to provide training in subject-specific methods. Current pedagogical challenges in the areas of society, politics, economy and culture are reflected in depth in the master's degree through various approaches.

More programs from the university

Most undergraduate degrees take 3 years. All programs are divided into an introductory phase (first year), an in-depth phase (second year), and an advanced phase (third year). The final phase is dedicated to writing the bachelor’s thesis. A bachelor’s degree qualifies you to pursue certain careers and apply for graduate programs.

Your choice of subject determines the degree awarded: subjects in the humanities generally award a Bachelor of Arts, subjects in the natural sciences award a Bachelor of Science, and our two interdisciplinary law programs offer a Bachelor of Laws. Teacher training programs also award a special bachelor’s degree.

A Bachelor of Arts program is structured as follows:

  • 1 major (50% or 90 achievement points)
  • 1 minor (25% or 45 achievement points)
  • general professional skills (ABK) courses (15% or 27 credit points)
  • elective courses (10% or 18 credit points).


Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Laws programs is structured as follows:

  • 1 major (75% or more)
  • general professional skills (15% or less)
  • elective courses (10% or less).


Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Laws degree programs do not contain a minor component.

After completing a bachelor’s degree, graduates can pursue a Master of Arts or a Master of Science straight away, or take a break and enroll at a later date. As a rule, it takes 5 years to complete a bachelor’s followed by a master’s degree. Universität Hamburg offers two different types of master’s degree. Consecutive master’s programs deepen knowledge and skills acquired during a bachelor’s degree and graduates may commence these programs straight after graduation. Professional master’s degree programs are graduate programs that develop existing professional skills in a particular field. Applicants must thus demonstrate at least 1 year of professional experience. The requirements and qualifications are the same for both types of degree.

Master’s programs may have admission restrictions and individual subjects also have different admission requirements. You can find more information about master’s programs in our German-language information sheet on master’s and professional master’s degree programs (Master- und Aufbaustudiengänge) or in the bilingual online guide to degree programs at Universität Hamburg.
