Master of Education programme (named pathways)
About the programme
Accredited June 2019
The Master of Education (MEd) is designed to develop the knowledge and understanding, skills, attributes and professional values necessary to enhance professional practice and aims to build upon the competencies developed throughout working life. Through a suite of postgraduate modules (SCQF Level 11), we reach out both nationally and internationally to build the capacity and expertise of professionals across all fields of Education. All modules are delivered through online and blended learning and are supported by using online resources with optional local sessions. Particular emphasis is placed on developing a strong learning community to support professionals in their studies throughout the programme.
The MEd is inquiry-based and provides a flexible route in:
- Leading Learning and Teaching
As well as named awards in:
- Inclusion and Learner Support
- Nursery/ Early Education
- International Education
- Educational Leadership
All awards have exit points at Certificate and Diploma level.
The programme is approved by GTC Scotland. The full MEd and bespoke pathways are also recognised by the International Baccalaureate (IB) as meeting the professional development requirements of the IB Advanced Certificate in Teaching and Learning Research, the IB Certificate in Leadership Practice and IB Advanced Certificate in Leadership Research.
