This Master of Education program is tailored for individuals passionate about educational studies. Featuring a flexible modular structure, students can pursue the degree full-time in one year or part-time over two or more years. The 90-credit program assigns 10 credits per module. In their final year, students select between completing a thesis (30 credits) or a capstone project (20 credits). Classes are held on weekday evenings, with some available during Easter and Summer School sessions. Participants may opt for a specialization or a general track, with focus areas including Educational Leadership, Teacher Education, Early Childhood Teaching and Learning, and Social Justice Education. Those holding a Postgraduate Diploma in Educational Leadership or related qualifications may qualify for module exemptions. Students can also take individual modules of interest without pursuing the full degree or earn a Postgraduate Diploma in Educational Studies after completing 60 credits.
