Our Educational Technology & Learning Design programs focus on the study, research and integration of technological innovations to understand and support learning. Faculty and students are active in a variety of educational, workplace and informal learning contexts guiding life-long learning.
Master's Programs
Our Master of Education and Master of Arts programs (offered at SFU Surrey) focus on research-based approaches to designing and using instructional technologies and evaluating their impact on learning. Master's graduates work in schools, universities, corporate training, Research & Development labs and informal learning environments.
Doctoral Programs
Our PhD program (offered at SFU Burnaby) is designed for careers in Research & Development and/or teaching at the post-secondary level. Based on an apprenticeship model of learning, students work closely with faculty members on cutting-edge research projects.
