Programme overview This Master's degree in learning technologies provides the technical and pedagogical knowledge necessary for designing, developing and evaluating learning technologies from the perspective of state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and computer science techniques, learning theory and teaching practice. It is ideal for those with a background in computing (academic or practitioner) and also for those without a computing background. It develops a sound foundation for entry to a career in learning technologies or to a research degree in the subject. This Master's programme is targeted towards those with a computing background (academic or practitioner), who wish to move into a career in the development of learning technologies, or to increase their pedagogical and technical knowledge, if they are already working in the learning technologies sector. It will also appeal to those who wish to undertake a 1-year (or 2 years part-time) postgraduate degree with a view to continuing onto and MPhil/PhD based at the Birkbeck Knowledge Lab. The programme is also suitable for those without a computing background, who wish to gain knowledge of both the computer science and the learning theory that together underpin the development of learning technologies.

Course programme
Course structure
There are 2 routes through the programme: Route A and Route B.
As well as taking core modules, you choose from a range of specialist optional modules and undertake an individual project comprising the design and development of a substantial software system targeted at a specific learning setting.
Route ARoute A is appropriate for those without significant prior experience of computing.
Route A students who pass the programming aptitude test prior to entry will take the core module Programming in Java, while those who do not elect to take the aptitude test, or do not pass it, will instead take the core module Introduction to Software Development.
Route BRoute B is appropriate for those with significant prior experience of computing, including prior experience with using an object-oriented programming language.
