This course will provide you with the opportunity of studying in an institution based in Malta to qualify at Bachelor's Level in the areas of adult education, training and development, on a part-time basis. The course will close the 'opportunity gap' that exists to date for students interested in pursuing studies in adult education, training and development at first-degree level (Level 6) by studying at a Malta-based institution. Additionally, the programme of study responds to various research findings that build a case for greater investment in the professionalisation of adult educators and trainers. Notably, the professionalisation of adult educators and trainers is one of the strategic measures detailed in the latest National Lifelong Learning Strategy 2020-2030 (Directorate for Research, Lifelong Learning and Employability, Ministry for Education, 2020).

This programme is true to the nature of technology as it relates significantly with areas such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art to name but a few. It also creates new combinations and boundaries of such technologically related domains. Within this course you will learn study-units that are intended to enable technological capability; that is to 'do' technology as opposed to just learning about it. However, there are other study-units which are then targeted towards developing a reflective perspective on technology and its interaction with the human being, that is, how technology may be used or misused, learnt and taught.
