MA LLL – European Master’s in Lifelong Learning: Policy and Management
The European Commission offers scholarships for 3rd country (non-EU) students and scholars.
The deadline for Erasmus Mundus scholarship applications for the academic year 2009/2010 is 31 December 2008.
Course description
The MA LLL is a flexible, multi-site programme based on a personal Learning Agreement with each student. The participating universities are the Danish School of Education, Copenhagen (Denmark), the University of Deusto, Bilbao (Spain) and the Institute of Education, University of London (UK). The programme is based around a series of modules, focusing on either policy or
management. A compulsory dissertation is also included. Students will begin the course in either Denmark or the UK (two semesters), and all students will spend their third semester in Spain.
Students may choose at which of the three institutions they will spend their fourth semester while writing their dissertation.
This Master’s Course aims to train professionals to design and develop educational policies concerned with Lifelong Learning (LLL). Graduates of this Course will be able to promote innovative LLL systems that are suited to the social and organisational context in which they are undertaken. Students will develop the competences required to mediate between the educational community and the needs of the local environment. They will learn to advise organisations on the planning, implementation, evaluation, supervision, and control of training mechanisms in LLL.
The Course will develop students’ familiarity with the theories, methods and perspectives of comparative education, learning, and LLL. Students will learn techniques for recognising diverse learning needs (depending on age, gender, aptitude, socio-cultural conditions, etc.) and for identifying the appropriate educational actions to meet these needs. They will be able to design
and develop flexible learning paths using the European Credit Transfer System, recognition of prior learning, ICT and e-learning.
They will also develop systemic competences related to management, quality, creativity and leadership. With these skills, students will be able to participate actively in the new developments and reforms taking place in Europe through the Bologna and Copenhagen processes.
The language of instruction is English and the course involves around sixty students. The professor/student ratio is approximately 1 professor to every 10 students. Students are awarded a joint degree which is recognised by all consortium partners. Applicants to the Master’s Course must have a good first degree (in the humanities or social sciences) or an equivalent qualification, and a satisfactory level of spoken and written English.
For non-EU students
For each student the scholarship amounts to 21,000 Euro per academic year. This includes 10 monthly grants of 1,600 Euro and a fixed amount of 5,000 Euro for fees, travel expenses, relocation costs, etc. For courses lasting two years, the student receives double this amount, i.e. 42,000 Euro.
