You’ll also benefit from attractive career prospects. You will not only be able to start your career at a significantly higher salary level; as a Master's graduate, you will also take on responsible tasks in a managerial position much sooner.

After your studies at IU, you will be able to take on responsible processes and tasks in management contexts in education and design them with scientifically sound methods. In addition, you’ll be able to specialise in topics such as organisational development, digital structures in educational and counselling institutions or diversity-sensitive leadership.

You will also be able to constantly reflect on your actions and expand them further.

Or you’ll be able to assume the role of team or department head in independent institutions with a pedagogical focus in order to develop practical concepts from the latest developments in pedagogy and to establish them in functional processes.
