Adult education is a focal point of a wide variety of study programmes in Bachelor's, Master's, teaching professions and PhD programmes. During your studies, you will acquire science-based and practice-oriented knowledge in the broad field of adult education and continuing vocational education and training. In-depth project and research seminars promote your conceptual and scientifically independent work. You will also learn to reflect on the importance of knowledge for the individual.
