The MEd Education Studies is designed for qualified teachers and others working within Education and related areas. The course will support you to make a positive impact on the lives of those with whom you work. The various pathways offered have been created to enable you to develop your interests and expertise with the aim of enhancing your professional practice.
The MEd offers a number of pathways, including:
- Educational Leadership
- Health, Wellbeing and Sustainability
- Inclusive Education
- Philosophy with Children (the only course of its kind in the UK)
- Supporting Teacher Learning
- Technology Enhanced Teaching and Learning (Digital Education).
Through the MEd, you will be able to tailor your focus to suit your interests. It offers opportunities to learn with and from others and to build networks that reach beyond the classroom. This part-time course allows you to develop a specialism in a flexible way that suits the demands of work and other commitments.
Rather than leading to a teaching qualification, it enables you to develop skills to study at Masters level and develop a sophisticated understanding of the concept of policy relating to education. It will allow you to extend your interest and understanding of learning and engage in a range of other, education-related areas.
What you'll study
Our MEd programmes are part-time over three years. You have five years to complete the degree from first registration, usually undertaking 60 credits per academic year.
Year 1
You'll undertake three classes each worth 20 credits, normally one class per semester. On-campus classes are delivered either in the evening or on Saturday mornings and involve attending three hours per week. In total each class should take 200 hours including self-study.
Weekly online seminars are delivered via the University's Virtual Learning Environment, Myplace. The seminars are scheduled in the evening to accommodate working professionals. Students who decide to complete their studies after one year will graduate with a Postgraduate Certificate.
Year 2
You'll undertake three classes each worth 20 credits – one class per semester. These normally include two optional classes and the compulsory Research Methods & Reasoning class. The compulsory class, delivered online via Myplace in Semester 1, provides the basis for undertaking the Masters-level dissertation.
Each class should take 200 hours including self-study.
Students who decide to complete their studies at the end of year two will graduate with a Postgraduate Diploma.
Year 3
You’ll carry out a research dissertation of 15,000 words in a subject area of your choice, worth 60 credits. A supervisor, matched with the best fit for your specialist area, will provide one-to-one support while you carry out and report your dissertation.
You can complete your final dissertation by distance learning. This provides the flexibility to complete your studies around work commitments.
Course awards
Students who complete the three Inclusive Education or Supporting Teacher Learning modules can gain accreditation with the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).

Contact Dr Angela De Britos for more details.
Inclusive Education (PG Cert)
The Postgraduate Certificate Inclusive Education is gained through study in the following modules at Masters level:
- Understanding Inclusive Education
- Providing Effective Educational Support
- Inclusive Pedagogy
Completion of this certificate leads to the GTCS professional recognition certificate: Additional Support Needs 3-18.
This course is suitable for practitioners working in education settings. It is particularly relevant for those working in support and leadership roles in schools who want to gain a better understanding of the legislation and policy frameworks for ASN. This course aims to give students an understanding of the historical background to anti-discriminatory practices, learn about how pupil can be effectively supported through child centred and interagency working, and consider how to adapt and reflect on teaching methodologies and pedagogies that suit all learners.
The wide ranging and continually changing nature of additional support will be examined so that students can reflect more critically on their own practice. Informed reflection is, we believe, an essential component of enhanced practice to ensure we adopt socially just practices.
Understanding Inclusive Education
20 credits
This module focuses on the changing field of inclusive education/educational support. There will be an exploration of the concepts of inclusion and of additional support needs in their entirety and in the ways in which these are exemplified in policy and practice. The intention is to help teachers to see the policies and practices of the field in relation to the ideas that lie behind them and be better placed to understand the research and theoretical background. Students will critique these in the context of their own practitioner environments.
Providing Effective Educational Support
20 credits
This module will focus on the question of how education practitioners can best respond to societal injustices that impact on children through children centred approaches with families, and alongside other child and health services. The focus will be on learning about anti-discriminatory, strength-based, rights-focussed support that is holistic, collaborative, inclusive, and socially just. Students will gain an understanding of policies such as GIRFEC and staged intervention models, and consider their implications for practice. Teaching on this module is both face to face and online.
Inclusive Pedagogy
20 credits
In this module participants will be encouraged to take a critical view of pedagogy and consider the processes which lead to the marginalisation and exclusion of particular children. The module is about supporting all learners through pedagogical approaches that focus on extending teaching approaches that are routinely available in classrooms in ways that might include all children as opposed to identifying specific and different approaches for some children. Students will develop an understanding of the importance of recognising and responding to the learning needs of all children, relating this learning to their own establishments and practice.
Contact Jane Caitlin for more details.
Philosophy with Children (PG Cert)
This is the only course of its kind in the UK. It is for anyone who wants to facilitate practical philosophy with children and adults. No prior knowledge or experience of education or philosophy is required.
To be trained to facilitate Community of Philosophical Inquiry, you’ll study three modules. Each should be undertaken in the sequence shown below. Classes are on campus on Tuesdays from 6pm to 8.30pm.
Introduction to Philosophy and Philosophical Practice
20 credits. Starts mid-September and runs for 12 weeks.
This module offers an introduction to the philosophy and logic that you’ll need to facilitate practical philosophy. You will also participate in philosophical dialogue with your peers in class.
Philosophy with Children: Theory
20 credits. Starts early January and runs for 8 weeks.
This module introduces different approaches to practical philosophy. You will also learn how to choose stimulus materials, select appropriate questions to generate philosophical dialogue, reflect on the role of the facilitator and analyse dialogue.
Philosophy with Children: Facilitation
20 credits. Starts mid-April and runs for 8 weeks.
Bringing together your learning from the previous modules, you will participate in Community of Philosophical Inquiry (CoPI) and you will facilitate CoPI with your peers.
Following the three modules you can progress in your study of PwC to the dissertation stage or you may opt for the EdD (PwC).
Contact Claire Cassidy for more details.
Supporting Teacher Learning (PG Cert)
The course is aimed at those involved in the support of teaching professional learning at all stages of a teacher’s career including:
- student and probation mentors
- continuing professional development (CPD) coordinators
- professional review and development (PRD) reviewers
- school leaders
- local authority officers with responsibility for CPD and/or probationer and leadership development
It recognises a widening conception that the role of the teacher includes not only a central role in supporting pupil learning, but also recognises the important role that teachers can play in supporting each other’s learning. Previously, it was assumed that by virtue of knowing how to teach children teachers had also been equipped to support their colleagues’ learning. However, there is growing recognition (Donaldson, 2011; Kennedy et al., 2008) that this important role requires additional specific knowledge, understanding and skills, which form the basis of this Postgraduate Certificate.
You'll take three modules:
How Teachers Learn
20 credits
Sets the scene, encouraging participants to think about how they learn, to reflect critically on different types of learning they have experienced across their personal and professional careers. It encourages the link between classroom pedagogies and pedagogies used for working with professionals, as such focusing in on the feedback loop between practitioners and students to support a metacognitive approach – closely related to the professional learning model. The assignment asks students to read around an area of interest, focusing on 3 representative articles, and to personally reflect on how these ideas influence their understanding of the theory and practice of teacher learning.
Contemporary Contexts for Teacher Learning and Teachers' Work
20 credits
Builds on module 1 by facilitating a lens for looking at these pedagogies and experiences of teacher learning that reflects current policy and wider international education agendas. We also focus on the local influencers around community and student voice and what it means to engage in and with research when inhabiting a professional learning space. Throughout the module, students are supported to engage critically with education policy and the processes by which it is created; they are encouraged to question new education reform agendas. The students complete an assignment in two parts, firstly a poster presentation in which they critically analyse one key policy that they find particularly relevant to their own learning and/or professional learning in their setting, followed by a written reflection on the core ideas within the poster, supported by reference to academic literature and policy documents. Students are encouraged to engage with each other’s posters and provide collaborative peer feedback, which can be used to inform the critical reflection.
Supporting Professional Learning in the Workplace
20 credits
Takes the issues and skills developed in modules 1 and 2 and asks the participants to generate their own practitioner enquiry question, sensitive to their own setting, to support colleagues’ professional learning. The type of professional learning is open to the participant, but they are assessed on their rationale and through a practitioner enquiry approach supported in evaluating its success. Reflection is based on perceived successes of colleagues’ learning as well as their own learning when engaging in supporting others’ learning.
Successful completion of all three modules gives GTCS Professional Recognition.
