The interdisciplinary Master's degree program in Educational Technology is the only one of its kind in Germany. It creates a unique link between educational science and computer science by combining the disciplines of educational methodology, informatics and psychology. Educational technology experts examine such questions as how school students in the classroom or "friends" in social networks are applying new technology to accumulate, transfer and use knowledge. They develop new technologies for use in educational institutions and in continuous and further education programs and are involved in the design of innovative learning environments. The Master's program is taught in English.
In addition to the core disciplines in learning science, design, research methods and programming, students can select course content from an extensive range of elective modules covering such areas as artificial intelligence or human-computer interaction. They can also complete tutor training and internships.
The Master's program is designed as an attendance course and requires personal presence at Saarland University. As the modules and exams are in English, students must demonstrate proof of excellent command in English.
