This flexible, interdisciplinary Master’s course helps a broad range of professionals acquire the skills, the theory, and the critical awareness to design, use, and assess technologies for education. 


In line with the Institute of Education (IOE)’s holistic approach to the wider contexts of education, you’ll see how these technologies play out across workplaces, home and social settings, as well as formal school and higher education environments. You’ll develop your practice upon a robust theoretical and pedagogical base that will allow you to navigate and make informed decisions in an educational era of rapid change and generative AI adoption. The course deliberately avoids both uncritical enthusiasm and blanket scepticism towards technology, encouraging students to develop their own informed position. 


As part of a diverse cohort of teachers, designers, engineers, policymakers, and other professionals, you’ll have opportunities to work in interdisciplinary teams under conditions designed to mirror real-life workplace practice. Together, you’ll exchange knowledge and achieve learning and design outcomes. Whatever your current role or background, you’ll acquire the technical skills and the pedagogical foundations to bridge the communication gaps between education and technology.  


The academics teaching on the course are also drawn from a wide range of professional disciplines and backgrounds. As part of the UCL Knowledge Lab, you’ll absorb their insights and balance opposing arguments from these world-leading education and technology researchers on the key social, ethical and environmental issues and debates reshaping modern learning environments.  


You’ll graduate with a set of skills that allows you to responsibly critique, innovate or implement technological tools, approaches, and strategies for a varied range of educational contexts.
