Master Heilpädagogik/Inklusionspädagogik (M.A.)

Why you should study Special Needs & Inclusive Education 

Your Bachelor's degree is only the beginning if you want to make a career as a manager later on. For many companies, a solid foundation of specialised knowledge is only sufficient for certain professions. A highly qualified and internationally recognised Master's degree is particularly worthwhile for you if you want to take on responsible tasks at a higher management level later on or even sit in the executive chair. However, the additional effort required for a Master's degree is not only worthwhile in terms of your career prospects. You can also specialise, deepen your knowledge and gain valuable experience and contacts abroad. Your future employers will reward all of this with praise in the application process, managerial positions and a starting salary that is up to 20 percent higher.     

This is what your Master’s degree in Special Needs & Inclusive Education at IU looks like  

The Master's degree in Special Needs & Inclusive Education at IU International University of Applied Sciences will prepare you for the future in three areas: educational practice, management and research. You will consciously dare to look beyond your own nose and make international comparisons. You will deal with topics such as change management and organisational development, pedagogy of diversity and early childhood education and upbringing. This will be complemented by new knowledge in the areas of negotiation, counselling and mediation. As a result, by the end of your studies at IU, you will be able to answer one of the most frequently asked questions: “Inclusion? How is that supposed to work?”.
