Focus areas of Master of Education
Students can tailor their Master of Education degree by concentrating on either Instructional Leadership or International Education. Each major consists of 3 units (12 credit points) and is meant to help you specialise in your chosen area.
- Instructional Leadership: The Graduate Major in Instructional Leadership investigates leadership, educational transformation, and instruction theories, as well as how these ideas might be used practically in the complex and changing field of education.
- International Education: This Major is for in-service teaching professionals and shows the development and history of International Education as an area of study.
Note that the only MEd program in the UAE that offers certification for IB teaching, even without prior IB experience, is offered by Murdoch University. As IB schools have grown in the Middle East, graduates of international education will have plenty of work prospects after they graduate.
Flexibility
The MEd is offered in a hybrid delivery mode (both online and/or face-to-face) which allows students to choose exactly what they want to study, as well as how they want to study it. The flexibility provided by hybrid delivery also means that working professionals can complete their MEd while still remaining employed full-time.
