This module presents to students the fundamentals principles in quantum physics and it is divided into two parts:
Part one starts by describing physical phenomena which led to the development of quantum physics principles such as the wave particle duality, existence of four quantum numbers including electron spin. Descriptions extend to electromagnetic radiations such as x-rays and lasers and (their applications) which results from atomic transitions.
Part two of the module presents the fundamentals principles of quantum mechanics of one single particle in one dimension and of hydrogene like atoms. In particular, this part presents mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics with particular focus on the Schrodinger equation and interpretation of its solutions.

This module introduces masters’ students to various research methods in STEM education. It explains the types of research methods and techniques used in education and research paradigms. It engages students step-by-step writing of the research proposal and in critical reading and evaluation of various research articles.     

This module module is an opportunity for students to explore theories and approaches related to curriculum development, implementation and evaluation. In practice, you will also critically reflect on, apply and interpret the acquired knowledge, skills and attitudes to secondary education Rwandan and East African Community (EAC) contexts.

This module aims to develop students’ advanced understanding of the relationship between learning, cognition, and technology, with emphasis on how educational theories apply in technology-mediated spaces. It equips learners to analyse the changing roles of instructors and students, evaluate the affordances and constraints of digital tools, and design strategies that enhance teaching and learning. By applying constructivist approaches such as collaboration, scaffolding, and problem-solving, students will strengthen autonomy, creativity, and reflective practice. Ultimately, the module prepares graduates to integrate research, ethics, and innovation in advancing education within diverse and technology-enhanced contexts.

In today's dynamic world, technology is more than a tool; it is a space where people learn, connect, and create together. This module invites you to explore how technology can be thoughtfully designed to support deeper, more meaningful learning experiences.

You will explore what makes an effective, engaging digital learning environment, while developing your skills to design, develop and evaluate technology-enhanced learning materials. You will also consider how the changes, pressures and emerging trends are now driving modern education towards the adoption of technology-supported learning practices: from shifting expectations of learners and global connectivity, to new pedagogical models and demands from institutions.

By the end, you won't just know how to use educational technologies, you will be able to design with a purpose, such that technology enhances and strengthens, rather than overshadows, the human part in teaching and learning.

By the end of this module, you should be able to:

• Identify the major changes, pressures, and trends that influence contemporary teaching and learning, and explain how these are driving the adoption of technology-supported learning environments.

• Apply key learning design theories and frameworks in order to create meaningful, engaging, and inclusive technology-enhanced learning experiences.

• Use digital and collaborative tools creatively to design and facilitate interactive, learner-centered activities that promote participation and reflection.

• Apply principles of ethical, inclusive and student-centered design in developing and delivering online and blended learning environments.

• Critically reflect on your professional practice and identify how technology can be used to respond effectively to emerging educational needs while preserving the human connection at the heart of learning.

Professional Development Learning (PDL) is a structured and supported process that is undertaken by students to strive towards realizing professional, academic and personal goals throughout their graduate program. This module provides students with an opportunity to reflect on new ideas, political longer-term projects, professional networks and viable career paths. While not credit-rated, this module is compulsory.

This module prepares students for careers in gender and development through focused immersion on the interconnected spheres of policy and practice. The course will equip students with practical skills and knowledge on gender mainstreaming in policy and project work. Students will develop thematic topics and gather original field data from both a policy and delivery perspective. As part of assignments, students will be requested to do group and individual assignments, in order to sharpen their intellectual, organizational and applied presentation skills

This course is designed to provide a working analysis of key issues in gender and development. Students will engage with a number of case studies in order to evaluate instances of theoretical and applied development from a gender perspective. Students will draw from their foundational graduate work in theory and methodology to interrogate contemporary issues across a number of contexts. By doing so, graduate students will be prepared for professional careers in gender, family, health, and politics. 

This module introduces students to transitional justice approaches and mechanisms adopted in post-conflict context with emphasis on the importance of incorporating a gender perspective in the approaches.

The effective use of ICT has the potential to enhance teaching and learning in every subject in the teaching curriculum.

• Providing collaborative computing tools such as the Intranet, shared network folders and other communications facilities encourages students to cooperate confidently with each other as part of the learning process.

• Helping students to gain a clear understanding of the social implications of ICT, informing them of the potential dangers of the Internet and helping them to understand copyright issues enables them to become responsible citizens in the modern world.

The aim of this module is to equip the learner with basic knowledge, attitude and skills in leadership and management required for health care service provision. It will focus on basic management and leadership including management functions, management of human, financial and material resources, leadership styles and quality assurance  Hey students we need ur participation through  asking many questions related to HR management thanks feel free

The module is aimed at providing students with knowledge on adult psychiatric disorders, and acquiring skills in the diagnosis and management of major adult psychiatric disorders.  It equips learners with skills in critical appraisal of therapeutic approaches used in the management of adult psychiatric patients, and the ability to prepare and present a systematic case study presentation. It will also equip students with knowledge and skills to identify and manage adult mental health disorders using the nursing process. It exposes students to the ethical and legal aspects in the management of mental health disorders and in their interactions with patients.

Welcome to the Communication and Therapeutic Relationship Course

The aim of this course is to prepare mental nurses to be able to communicate therapeutically and lead different therapeutic groups for facilitating mental health recovery towards people with mental disorders.

This module will equip students with knowledge and skills to develop a therapeutic relationship with clients with mental health problems and the use of self as the therapeutic tool in their nursing roles. Effective communication techniques and skills will be discussed, as well as the non therapeutic communication that can hinder delivery of care. The concept of stress and burnout among mental health nurses and its management will be explored. The module will also equip students with skills to utilize a group as a therapeutic resource in mental health care.

The main aim of the module is to give the students a common ground for the Microeconometrics methods needed for the analysis of cross-sectional and panel data. The module covers selected linear models, non linear models and panel data models.
