Course Overview

This MEd Tertiary and Higher Education is designed to support the professional development of individuals working in education and training at either tertiary or higher education levels. The intention is to strengthen and enhance participants' understanding of educational issues while raising their professional profiles.

You will be encouraged to discuss and analyze information from a wide range of theoretical perspectives and apply them to your professional practice. You will have the opportunity to focus your studies on an area of professional educational interest while developing research skills and an understanding of ethical principles in higher education.
