The Education and Technology MA is based at UCL’s Knowledge Lab, a ground-breaking research centre that uses the latest evidence to design and implement innovative educational technology and pedagogies that shape the future of education and learning. Supported by scientists from a wide range of fields including education, sociology and computer science, you will develop the skills to design, use and critically appraise ‘EdTech’ across a wide range of settings.

This multi-disciplinary programme brings together students from a wide range of fields to explore the ways in which educational theory can be applied to the design, development, implementation and research of learning technologies. As such

  • educators learn to incorporate new technologies into their practice,
  • developers bring concepts and evidence from learning sciences into the design and evaluation of technologies, and
  • aspiring researchers build the skills for an academic career in this fast-moving field.

Optional modules include topic areas such as learning design, design thinking, artificial intelligence and learning analytics, among others.

Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.

The programme consists of two compulsory modules (60 credits). Students also opt for: either two optional modules (60 credits) and a dissertation (60 dissertation); or three optional modules (90 credits) and a report (30 credits).
