Master Programme in Waldorf Education

OUR VISION

The Rudolf Steiner University College (RSUC) master programme invites experienced practitioners to explore and improve educational activities in kindergartens, schools, workplaces and all other arenas where learning and human development take place. This program works with people who work with people, and aims at providing its students with the abilities to develop and transform their current practice. While obtaining an internationally recognized master degree, our graduates will have learned how to perform an educational research project.

The RSUC master programme acknowledges the dynamic educational relationships between the personal, cultural, environmental and spiritual. We recognize that everything we do as individuals affects others and our shared communities and environments. We regard ourselves as responsible for a world in need of change, and that the education of tomorrow must take active part in developing sustainable knowledge, skills and life conditions. This ethical attitude towards education is how we understand the essentials of Waldorf education, and the legacy of Rudolf Steiner’s ideas.

OUR AIMS

The RSUC master programme was founded in 2005, and aims at developing and furthering the transformative, sustainable and caring aspects of education, including Waldorf pedagogy. One particular interest is contributing to a dialogue between Waldorf education and the wide spectre of contemporary educational ideas and practices.

The core activity in the master programme is facilitating our students in attaining educational research competence. We believe that educational research is a tool for renewal both on personal and societal levels. On the one hand, it enables practitioners to reflect on their experiences, give fresh life to professional activities and facilitate further work options. On the other hand, most of our students experience how becoming an educational researcher is empowering in the sense of creating new visions and consciousness.
