7.8/10
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 explore how to improve learning processes and environments. You will learn to analyse, design, and guide learning and change processes. For example, you might use digital technologies such as virtual reality and e-learning. Within this Master’s, you can focus on the context of education, human resource development, or combine both areas. After graduation, you will be able to advise organisations on professional development and change processes, or conduct research on topics such as digital learning environments in primary education. You can pursue a career in schools, HR departments, educational and training agencies, educational publishers, or governmental institutions.
