The Master’s degree programme enables you to identify the mechanisms and consequences of the emergence and consolidation of inequalities in the context of education. We qualify our graduates for (management) positions in the education system as well as in culture, science and (education) policy, which require sensitivity and competence in dealing with the emergence and interaction of mechanisms of discrimination and privilege.
