Master of Arts in Education
Welcome to the Master of Arts in Education program, crafted for educators who want to expand their impact through practical experience. Designed with working professionals in mind, this two-year programme offers two short yet intensive semesters each year, allowing for flexibility with just 8 weeks of study per semester. Our curriculum is centred around real-world applications, enabling students to gain hands-on experience and apply what they learn directly in their teaching environments. This practical approach allows students to collect and analyse data from their teaching practice, which is invaluable for their research projects. With a focus on practical learning, our curriculum is relevant and updated with contemporary methodologies, equipping educators with the skills and insights they need to thrive.
