Educational Studies (Full - time) MEd

The MEd Educational Studies is designed to help education professionals build on existing knowledge and skills to develop academically, personally and professionally and progress to positions of responsibility. With a focus on contemporary global developments and intercultural perspectives in education, students are encouraged to reflect on their own practice and make connections to international contexts, promoting a deeper understanding of the world and the impact they can have on it. By integrating an intercultural perspective into all aspects of their education, our students can be better equipped to navigate a rapidly changing world and make a positive impact in their communities.

Applicants must satisfy one of the following criteria: possess a teaching qualification or equivalent; hold a first (bachelor’s) degree in the broad area of education; have a first (bachelor’s) degree in another discipline with substantial content relating to education; or have relevant work or professional experience or completion of an appropriate programme of study that provides an appropriate foundation, including a compulsory element of independent work. Additionally, graduates of the UWS PGDE Primary or Secondary who have gained SCQF Level 11 credits during their PGDE may enter the programme with advanced standing.
