Master of Science in Educational Technology (EduTech)

The Master of Science in Educational Technology (EduTech) at Saarland University is an interdisciplinary four-semester programme that bridges computer science and learning science. It covers instructional design and learning theories, digital learning tools and platforms, computer-supported collaborative learning, and the development and assessment of digital learning products. The programme's research foci include collaboration scripts for learning activities, argumentation processes in online scenarios, joint attention and embodied learning on multi-touch surfaces, computational thinking, adaptive educational technology, audience response systems, and Massive Open Online Courses. Students work in interdisciplinary groups on projects tied to current research, gaining practical experience designing and developing educational software. The programme targets students with Bachelor's degrees in Psychology, Education, or Computer Science, though applicants from other fields may be considered. According to the programme's own alumni data, more than 90% of graduates find a position in educational technology within three months of completing the degree. Graduates can work in educational research, e-learning companies, digital media development, workplace training design, or as advisers to educational institutions. The programme is taught at Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany.
