Understanding education, helping to shape education.

The Bachelor of Science "Empirical Educational Research and Educational Psychology" combines psychology, educational science and related subjects with quantitative, empirical research methods to gain reliable insights into current educational issues.
Students gain a comprehensive understanding of the individual, institutional and societal factors influencing and impacting educational processes. You will also acquire a sound basic knowledge of quantitative research methods and educational-psychological diagnostics. An extensive compulsory elective area allows students to develop an individual profile, for example in the areas of "Education and Digitalisation" or "Education and Society".

Graduates’ expertise is in demand wherever teaching and learning play a role – in educational administration and education policy, in school development, in assessment and support, in professional and private continuing education, as well as in education and science journalism. Potential employers include ministries, state institutes, school authorities, cities and districts as well as foundations, trade unions and universities.

The degree course also provides optimal preparation for the Master´s degree programme of the same name at the University of Tübingen and a later career in academia.
