About this programme

Advances in digital technology are transforming how learning is designed, implemented, and studied. The Master’s programme in Educational Technology (EduTech) is grounded in established and emerging theories from the Learning Sciences, Educational Psychology, Instructional Design, and Computer Science. It integrates these perspectives with empirical research methods to systematically investigate and shape technology-enhanced learning environments. The programme addresses key domains such as: Hybrid and online learning environments, from massive open online courses (MOOCs) to micro-learning Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) Digital tools, social media, and open educational resources & practices (OER & OEP) Game-based and embodied learning Mobile and multi-touch learning technologies A central component of the programme is the systematic integration of theory-driven instructional design with practical experience. Building on foundational models from Instructional Design and the Learning Sciences, students learn to design, implement, and evaluate technology-enhanced learning environments using research-informed approaches. This includes applying theoretical approaches to real-world design challenges. Internships are a central component of the programme, which may include joining our EduTech Podcast Team, becoming a tutor, doing a research internship, or interning at an EduTech company. The programme explicitly welcomes applicants from diverse academic backgrounds.
