Course summary
The Master of Education (MEd) is an advanced taught degree programme with research elements that develops students' vocational skills by building on their music educational experience in the profession. The course is suitable for musicians engaged in education work, such as teachers, animateurs, creative education leaders and facilitators, ensemble/choir directors and coaches, and professional performers, such as orchestral players whose work includes educational activities.
Students will study a combination of modules that enable them to analyse, develop and share their own practice, building a portfolio of evidence and conducting in-depth action research investigating an area of their own choice.
The programme will be available part-time over a period of two to four years and is designed to fit around a professional musician's portfolio of other commitments. On a case-by-case basis, a one-year full-time route will also be available, subject to approval by the Programme Leader. Students requiring a Tier 4 visa to study in the UK must select the one-year option.
Learning and teaching
Students will complete a major independent research project based on their own experience and build a portfolio of practice that shows evidence of their professional development. Contact time is structured around intensive study blocks with weekly face-to-face classes and observational placement opportunities for some optional modules.
