About this course

["SEOSis an international and interdisciplinary two-year joint Master's programme (four semesters – 120 ECTS) fully delivered in English. The programme brings together internationally renowned expertise in engaged research on superdiversity from eight world-class European universities that are part of the European university alliance UNIC.Contemporary societies are characterised by complex processes of diversification, accompanied by fundamental changes in education, organisations, and society. SEOS innovatively responds to these complex transformations by aligning theory and research with real world examples. Students explore the impact of superdiversity on education, organisations, and wider society while developing reflexive and co-creative capacities to analyse and shape the transition to an inclusive, productive, and sustainable future for superdiverse societies.The focus of the SEOS curriculum is on superdiversity as an increasing social complexity of diversity with a growing acknowledgement of the intersectionality of social categories like ethnicity; race; gender; sexuality; culture; religion; disability; social, economic and legal status; and many other aspects especially in a context of widening global social and economic inequality, mounting environmental crises including climate change, and resource shortages necessary for social and economic transitions.The programme combines different disciplines, educational approaches, and outstanding facilities in a comprehensive and value-adding way, based on the specific strengths of each partner university in the relevant fields.SEOS includes virtual and physical mobility options, responding to the heterogeneous expectations of a superdiverse, transnational and climate-conscious 21st-century student body.Learning, teaching, and research are interconnected, mutually enriching, and learner-centred, and your student journey will benefit from tailor-made flexibility, clear guidance and transparent processes."]
