About IMPDET studies

IMPDET studies are currently on hiatus. Potential appicants are asked to wait until the break is over.

IMPDET (International Multidisciplinary PhD Studies in Educational Technology) provides a possibility to pursue doctoral studies online at the School of Computing, University of Eastern Finland. The main research interests of IMPDET are:

• digital learning
• AI education
• learning analytics and AI in education
• VR/AR technologies in education
• design research in educational technology
• interactive technologies
• ICT for development

IMPDET is run by the Technologies for Learning and Development research group at the School of Computing, University of Eastern Finland (UEF). In IMPDET, the doctoral degree can be studied in computer science in the Doctoral Programme in Science, Forestry and Technology (LUMETO).

While doctoral studies can be completed online, IMPDET doctoral students are highly encouraged to visit the campuses of UEF in order to receive intensive supervision, complete courses, and work in collaboration with peers, senior researchers, and faculty members connected to IMPDET studies.
