Target Population

Candidates are expected to have an excellent Bachelor degree in educational or social sciences, psychology or any (inter-) disciplinary field related to development, learning, language studies, media, arts or socio-cultural issues.
The programme brings together graduates from Luxembourg, the cross-border Greater Region, European and international contexts.

Programme

The programme follows a challenging concept of teaching-for-learning within higher education based on the theoretical framework of Activity Theory, the socio-cultural paradigm of learning and development as well as the socio-cognitive study of learning and teaching in interaction. In this way, it provides excellent grounds for extending existing theoretical frameworks, professional skills and mediational tools for the study of multilingual and multicultural contexts on behalf of the MA candidate’s individual profi le and development throughout the MA courses.

The Master - Learning and Development in Multilingual and Multicultural Contexts programme takes a learners-as-researchers approach combining case studies with a transdisciplinary exploration of the following four domains of interest:

• the nature of learning, especially with regard to language and literacy (LLL)
• the dialectic systematic of human activity and development, intervention (ADI)
• the role of media (e.g., Information and Communication Technology) and mediation in processes of learning and development (MID)
• the interplay of identity, discourse and the politics of language and education (DIP)
