The Digital Education MSc has been awarded Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships for eligible students starting in September 2025. The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) in the UK is an executive non-departmental public body, operating within the framework of the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan. It offers a range of study, research, and professional development options for people throughout the Commonwealth, including distance learning support. The scholarship is for individuals in various roles (e. g., policymakers, teachers, learning technologists, entrepreneurs, investors, NGO and think tank workers, etc.). Our programme equips graduates with the knowledge, skills, and networks to design, use, or manage technology in education (e.g., EdTech) for inclusive, equitable education and lifelong learning.
The Digital Education MSc offers the opportunity to acquire knowledge, skills, and networks to design, use, or manage technology in education (e.g., EdTech) for inclusive, equitable education and lifelong learning. Note that the program is open to how the applicant plans to innovate in digital education and EdTech in their context – may it be about developing technology, using it in different ways, managing it,
or writing policies and regulations on its use.
However, in each case, it will be god to see how the applicant plans to use this opportunity to contribute to the development impact in their country. For example, will you use the gained knowledge and skills to have an impact on the quality of education in your context? Or will you tackle the ethical challenges of technology, such as reducing bias in algorithms and AI, addressing automation risks, and ensuring solutions are contextually relevant? Perhaps you might aim to contribute to peaceful, inclusive societies and effective institutions. Either way, applicants should be clear about the impact they plan to make with knowledge and skills from their programme in their context.
Eligibility
- The applicant’s academic merit
- Potential impact on their home country’s development
- Alignment with CSC development themes and Sustainable Development Goals
- An identifiable potential to become a leader and innovator
