Pedagogy / Waldorf Pedagogy in English
Master of Arts
The three-year international part-time Master’s degree programme in Waldorf Pedagogy with a focus on “Teaching and Research” prepares students for professional careers as teachers and researchers at Waldorf schools. At the heart of the programme is an in-depth theoretical and academic engagement with reform pedagogy and Waldorf education in today’s world.
Particular emphasis is placed on acquiring Waldorf educational and didactic competencies, as well as academic, practice-based research skills and the gradual development and implementation of research projects. Another goal is to support (future/current) Waldorf teachers in developing their authentic potential and personality through artistic transformation. Students develop a range of observation and judgement skills and train their creativity, flexible thinking, and personal responsibility.
