The Professional Master of Education (PME) program equips future educators with the skills needed for modern secondary schools. Participants explore teaching fundamentals, build hands-on classroom experience, and study core educational theories. The curriculum includes supervised teaching practice across multiple secondary schools. Students complete coursework in teaching methods for typically two subject areas.
Classes begin in late August, with both academic instruction and school placements concluding by May.
Entry to the PME programme is determined in the first instance by the candidate’s primary degree with a minimum 2.2 grade. The degree must be a recognised and relevant undergraduate programme as determined by the Teaching Council.
