Overview

The Master of Education in Adult Learning and Global Change is run simultaneously on four continents. It is a joint initiative of UTS, the University of British Columbia, University of the Western Cape and Linkoping University, Sweden. Students are taught in common classes through a mixture of distance learning and local face-to-face activity.

Each of the four universities is the major centre in research and teaching in adult education in their respective countries. Students are involved in studying issues of global change and adult learning while also experiencing them directly. Tasks in the course involve working with peers in other countries.
