The Master of Education degree can be done either by coursework and research report or by dissertation.
For the M Ed in coursework and research report, students select three courses, of which two are normally selected from the 'package' most closely related to their likely area of research. The third course may be selected from another 'package' in the School of Education or, subject to approval, from those offered by other schools in the Faculty of Humanities or in Science Education. In addition, a course in research design prepares students for the research report which comprises half the requirements for the degree. The usual expectation is that the Research Report will be within the general domain of the coursework chosen, and there is room here for a student to conduct research in an area of specialised interest (e.g. curriculum studies, educational technology, etc.)
Students with previous research experience may apply for admission to the M Ed by dissertation. Candidates for this research Masters degree may be required to take one or two courses to deepen their theoretical grounding in their selected field of research.
List of MEd Course 'Packages'
Please note that not all courses are on offer every year. Annual course and 'package' offerings are subject to demand and change, depending on the availability of staff. Course and 'package' selection must be approved by the School of Education at the time of registration.
