Master of Arts in Global Histories of Education [MAGHE] – English Programme and Chinese Programme

The MA in Artificial Intelligence and Technology in Language Learning (MAATLL) examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and other digital technologies on language learning, teaching, assessment, curriculum, learner development, and professional practices across English, Chinese, multilingual, and broader language education contexts. The programme prepares educators, language professionals, learning designers, assessment specialists, and related practitioners to use AI and digital technologies critically, creatively, and responsibly. By emphasising both theoretical understanding and practical application, the programme provides students with the knowledge and competencies needed to design technology-enhanced learning experiences, evaluate emerging educational technologies, and lead innovation in diverse language learning contexts. The programme aims to develop advanced research-informed understanding, independent professional judgment, and the ability to address complex language education problems responsibly.

Master of Arts in Chinese Studies (Language Education) offered by the Faculty of Humanities of EdUHK is specially designed for professionals like Chinese-language educators, editors, administrative executives and civil servants. The programme is recognised by the Standing Committee on Language Education and Research (SCOLAR) of Hong Kong as one of the programmes under “Recognised Language Major Degree Programmes”.

The Master of Arts in Digital Humanities for Cultural Professionals, the only programme of its kind in Hong Kong, provides quality education to individuals who want to equip themselves with digital skills to work in the creative and cultural sectors in Hong Kong, and the Greater Bay Area. Building on the synergy between Cultural Studies and Information Technology, it allows students and professionals to develop skills in cultural management, digital technologies and (big) data analysis and to provide cutting-edge innovation in the cultural and creative industries.

The Master of Arts in Digital Linguistics and Intercultural Communication (MADLIC) is designed to cultivate students’ intercultural and multicultural awareness while strengthening their ability to use digital tools and applied linguistic knowledge to communicate effectively with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. The programme combines theoretical coursework with hands-on training, integrating applied linguistics, digital technologies, and intercultural communication strategies. Students will explore how language is shaped and interpreted in digital environments, and how computational and communication technologies (e.g., digital writing, language resources, and online interaction platforms) can support translation, meaning-making, and collaboration across cultures in professional workplaces. Through guided practice in professional discourses and real-world communicative scenarios, students develop the skills to analyse linguistic needs, evaluate digital communication practices, and produce context-appropriate and nuanced intercultural communication outputs.
