Master of Education

Course Overview

• Master of Education
• Master of Education (Leadership and Management)
• Master of Education (Inclusive Practice

The Masters of Education pathways are flexible, professional degrees for those working in or looking to pursue a career in education settings and who want to enhance their individual or organisational practice and/or progress to a leadership role. The courses aim to support your professional development and the modules can be tailored to reflect the needs of your working context.

The programmes are designed to accommodate a range of professionals in order to promote and enhance multidisciplinary understanding. Your tutors will work alongside you as colleagues and our expectation is that peer learning and support are a key feature.

You can undertake the MEd if you are in a support or administrative role in an educational organisation. If you have a PGCE or a Postgraduate Diploma in Education at master’s level you may be able to transfer this credit into the Masters course of your choosing.
