Andragogy

The fundamental objectives of the master's study programme of the second level of Andragogy relate to several levels of competence and to several profiles of the work performed by an andragogue as an expert in the education and training of adults. In addition to these, they develop specific competencies that enable them to understand the relationships between andragogical phenomena and processes, the social and cultural environment, and the characteristics and expectations of individuals. Professional competences enable them to understand and solve problem situations that arise in these relationships, to understand and organize adult education as a social and individual process.
The study programme trains for responsible action in the education of adults in various organizations and environments. Graduates are qualified to research and develop andragogical theory and practice. They cultivate an active attitude towards the profession, take care of their professional development, take into account multiculturalism, synergism, globalism, complexity of theoretical concepts, and are able to establish a reflexive and plural attitude towards truths.
