The programme focuses on the analysis of practice and policy in education, in particular of aim, content, form, organization and performance of learning, teaching and professional development in school and pre-school settings, and analysis of school development and of teacher education. Research on subject specific (e.g. mathematics) and area specific (e.g. health and sustainable development) teaching and learning in institutionalized settings at all educational levels forms an important part of the programme. Furthermore research on workplace learning; career guidance and counselling; and adult and vocational education is central in the programme. Other public services within e.g. the health and environment sectors, the non-governmental public sector and the private sector are also objects of study both in relation to formal and informal learning and teaching. 

The programme engages with a wide range of research approaches grounded in research traditions from didactics and curriculum studies, and from the various forms of educational research inspired by sociological, philosophical and psychological disciplines. Among the courses and fields of PhD supervision provided within the programme are subject didactics and curriculum studies, the various research methods in educational research, including qualitative and quantitative methods and methods for research synthesis, and the philosophy and methodology of educational research as a human and social science. The programme thus emphasizes the acquisition of research skills, including skills in dissemination of research, and the importance of a critical understanding of research and methods, as well as of the implications of research for policy and practice.
