About the education

What are you studying?

What Digital learning refers to the use of digital technologies and resources to facilitate and enhance teaching and learning processes. It includes the use of computers, internet, software, apps and other digital resources to promote learning. Digital learning is used in, for example, pre-school, school, university, healthcare, municipalities, and corporate training programmes to create an interactive and engaging learning environment. This can include everything from online courses and video lessons to interactive simulations and digital assignments. The aim is to use technology to make learning more accessible, effective and customised to the needs of individuals and organisations.

The Master's Programme in Digital Learning aims to meet society's need to ensure access to competence in digital learning in businesses in both the private and public sectors. The programme is unique and innovative in its design and few similar programmes are offered despite the existing demand.
