Adult education

This will depend on your target audience. Although andragogy is a valid term, it is not a very common one. My friends at Filozoficka fakulta, who studied andragogy, used the term "adult education" in English.
I've just checked google:
"degree in andragogy" has only 4 hits
"degree in adult education" has 10,300 hits.
Peer comment(s):

agree Dylan Edwards : If it means adult education generally, say adult education. Until last night, I had never heard or seen the word andragogy. Googling reveals that it's the name of a specific educational theory/method (Malcolm Knowles' theory).

The first time I heard andragogika in Slovak was when I started to study at Filozoficka fakulta in Bratislava, and even then I had to check the dictionary to see what it meant (just kidding, I had to ask my roommate: what is it that you study?)
neutral Maria Chmelarova : agree with term , but it is about "adult learning " (it is a difference between education and learning)..
