“I believe the ETS programme, through giving me an insight and some domain knowledge into the sphere of teaching and learning, helped me to make a career move from the mainstream IT sector to that of learning technology. Furthermore my dissertation for the course gave me a chance to investigate the interaction of the business and financial world with e-learning and this is where I would like to develop my career further.” (Education Development Manager at King’s College London)

“I do appreciate the training I received from the ETS program. For example, I learn to examine the needs of different users and try to get the users involved. I also find it easier to investigate the connections between the Internet activities and learning, which helps me with the forming of my ideas and evaluation.” (Trainer at a Language Training and Testing Center in Taiwan)

"Being part of this vibrant and lively academic community for a year almost made me feel sad when the Master’s programme came to an end but, fortunately for me, I decided that the school had much more to offer me and I decided to stay for a PhD!" (PhD student at the Graduate School of Education)
