Elevate your professional journey as an emerging senior leader in education. Develop essential leadership and business competencies, strategic approaches, and valuable insights to drive meaningful improvements in your organization while effectively leading high-achieving teams. Addressing the multifaceted challenges of New Zealand's education and training sector - and those worldwide - demands skilled educational leaders, board members, policy specialists, and senior administrators capable of making informed leadership choices.
This part-time 180-point master's program caters to professionals seeking to establish or advance their careers in educational leadership and administration, enabling them to create greater organizational impact.
The Master of Educational Management (MEdM) enhances your expertise in organizational transformation, business planning, financial evaluation, and personnel management within educational settings.
There's significant demand for graduates with specialized knowledge in both educational leadership and administration. For professionals transitioning from mid-level to senior positions, this qualification provides strong preparation for diverse career prospects.
You can complete this program part-time across three years (60 points annually) or full-time within 18 months. Many courses are available online, allowing students the convenience of remote learning.
The MEdM is collaboratively offered by the Division of Education and Waikato Management School, with instruction from field-experienced faculty members.
Participants will acquire skills and knowledge to:
Implement effective leadership and management strategies to drive positive transformation
Identify and address ethical considerations in educational environments
Apply research-based knowledge to enhance professional practices and learner outcomes
Important note: This qualification does NOT provide the specialized research training needed for doctoral studies. Additional research methodology and postgraduate coursework would be necessary for admission to Master of Philosophy, Doctor of Education, or Doctor of Philosophy programs.
