The Open University of Cyprus offers, as of the academic year 2020-2021, a new, innovative postgraduate programme entitled “Media in Contemporary School”. The Programme is offered in Greek, is accredited by the the Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education, and will award 90 ECTS credits (three academic semesters in full-time studies). The MA Programme in “Media in Contemporary School” is the answer to the contemporary need to integrate new technologies in teaching and learning in light of the ‘new world’ that COVID19 has created.
The new programme is designed to cover the needs of educators/teachers, professionals from related fields and every citizen, who pursue new knowledge and skills for the 'digital age’ and the use of Media and new technologies in contemporary schools due to the transformation of the learning process. Considering that teachers’ responsibilities increase significantly and that students in the "Information Age of a Networked Society" have changed radically due to the penetration of new Media and technologies (internet, social media, etc.) in school education, the programme aims to provide knowledge of Communication and Media with Pedagogy and Teaching.
The applications period for the New Master’s programme in “Media in Contemporary School”offered by the Open University of Cyprus for enrollment in the academic year 2020-2021, will start on July 16 and will end on August 26, 2020.
