Doctor of Philosophy in Curriculum Studies - Media and Technology Studies Education

Media and Technology Studies Education is one of the most productive and unique programs of its kind internationally. Five highly competitive degree specializations and concentrations are offered: BEd, Dip, MEd, MA, and PhD. We value the design, production, and use as well as the repurposing and critique of media and technology.

Graduate programs (MEd, MA, PhD) in MTSE focus on learning, research, and teaching in, through, and about media and technology. This includes applications and design of digital and physical processes and works as well as their economics, history, philosophy, and psychology. This also includes implications of how and why mediated and technological works are processed, coded, made, used, and recycled. Learning, research, and teaching in MTSE focus generally on interactions among media, technology, culture, nature, and people. Some of the substantive specializations in MTSE are educational media, technology, and design, advanced learning technologies, media studies, D&T, ecodesign, HCI, ICT, STEM, and STS.
