Master of Education - By Research

The Master of Education (M.Ed.) by Coursework and Thesis provides an opportunity for persons concerned with educational practice to undertake advanced coursework and research in a field of particular interest to them and to gain an internationally recognised postgraduate qualification.

Note: The M.Ed. is not an introductory teaching qualification, nor is it a licence to teach.

The M.Ed. prepares the graduand to inquire into the nature of educational problems and generate new knowledge which can be used to enhance policy and practice.

When undertaking research, students are encouraged to become involved in applied research which attempts to provide solutions to the problems faced by learners, teachers, administrators, consultants and policy-makers. Students may be able to participate in ongoing research projects being conducted by the Fogarty and CSaLT research centres of the School of Education.

Students should ensure that they discuss their proposal with the appropriate Course Coordinator before committing themselves, since not all units may be available in a particular year.

The M.Ed. by Coursework and Thesis provides an opportunity for Admission to the Doctor of Philosophy, however, Admission to the PhD is highly competitive.
