MA/MS in Education and Child Studies: Digital Media in Human Development

This specialisation examines the opportunities and challenges that digital media bring to child rearing and education, distinguishing itself from related programmes by its explicit focus on how digital tools are used in upbringing, teaching and the treatment of developmental problems, and on how they influence child development more broadly. It addresses the rapid spread of applications across personal computers, mobile devices, virtual reality, the internet, MOOCs and serious games, and prepares students with evidence-based knowledge for practical, policy-oriented or scientific roles that weigh the risks of digital media against its possibilities.
