Expected Jobs upon Graduation

The joint doctoral program will train learning scientists who upon graduation are experts in the design, implementation and evaluation of educational innovations to improve learning. They can for instance be hired in teaching-​learning centers of universities and interdisciplinary research centers such as the CAPE, CEDE or LEARN units at EPFL and the MINT learning center of ETH Zurich.

They can also join corporate training departments. Informal learning spaces such as museums and other curated exhibits also hire learning scientists with strong content expertise. These students will also be trained to become professors in universities, and scientists in companies.

The graduates can also be involved in learning and technology policy-​making at various levels, as well as in one of the thousands of EdTech companies. In Switzerland, the Swiss EdTech Collider gathers no less that 80 start-​ups in this field, some with over 100 employees.
