The Master of Education (MEd) allows a pathway for current teachers, educational professionals, counsellors, and leaders to gain a master's level qualification examining practice and critical issues in education.
Those interested in a research-focused programme of study may consider the Master of Education (Thesis).
Please note this qualification is not a pathway to teacher registration. If you wish to study to become a registered teacher, check out our Teacher Education qualifications.
You will need to have a bachelor's degree (or an equivalent degree) with a major in Education or a related subject with a B grade average; or have any Aotearoa university degree and a professional teaching qualification.
If English is your additional language, you are also required to meet UC's English language requirements.
