Best for those fascinated by learning design and edtech who want flexibility across school and workplace contexts. Tradeoff: one-year breadth means less depth in any single specialization without additional focus.

About this program
Education is a key factor in growth and progress in society. But what motivates people to learn? And what role can technology play in this? In this Master’s, you will learn how to help people of all ages to learn and develop. Think of designing open online learning materials for education, or creating instructions for professionals who are going to work with new technologies or systems.
Within this Master’s, you can focus on learning processes and development in the context of education or within organisations, or combine both focus areas. After graduating, you can work as an educational scientist, advising organisations on professional development or conducting research into, for example, digital learning environments in primary education. You can work at schools, HR departments, education and training agencies, educational publishers, and government institutions.
