The main focus of the Master's degree programme Educational Science and Technology (EST) is on the design and evaluation of learning scenarios in schools and in organisations, where the scope is wide: from educating primary school children and young people in secondary and vocational education, to in-service or on-the-job training for adult employees.
EST students learn about theories of learning and assessment, educational technologies, effective training approaches, and learning interventions. Students also discover how to design and evaluate different learning scenarios and offer recommendations or solutions for practical problems.
The EST programme prepares students to work in two main focus areas:
- Learning in Education: focus on formal education settings, such as schools, where the emphasis is on learning, instruction and system effectiveness;
- Learning and Development in Organisations: focus on adult learning and professional development in organisations.
Those who are still exploring their study options can find more information in the EST brochure and/or by attending a Master’s Open Day or a Taster Day.
