Master of Education

 

The programme “Master of Education” is for anyone with a strong interest in education, for both professionals in the field, namely educators, deputy rectors, rectors, school superintendents, school inspectors, mentors and quality assurance officers, and those wishing to further their academic interest and knowledge in various aspects of education such as curriculum development and planning, assessment as a tool in instruction, the legal framework of the education sector and the teaching profession, counselling, mentoring strategies, research in education, among others. This Masters programme aims at providing the learners with all the necessary knowledge and competencies that will allow them to understand education from a holistic approach and train them to work with their students at the center of their profession.

The Master of Education programme, therefore, builds upon the knowledge gained in an education-based bachelor degree programme or the experiences of the learner in the education sector. In fact, it involves a comprehensive study and review of these important topics in education that will help the learners improve their theoretical knowledge and their professional experience and development.
