Overview
The integrated Bachelor of Education and Master of Education (BEd MEd) combines professional teacher preparation with advanced education study in one coordinated programme. It is intended for eligible graduates seeking both school-practice experience and deeper engagement with research, curriculum or teacher education.
What students study
The curriculum may cover learner development, pedagogy, curriculum, assessment, inclusive education and school internship before progressing to advanced education theory, policy, teacher education, leadership and research methods. Seminars, field inquiry and a dissertation or major project are common advanced components.
Duration and study options
Integrated BEd MEd programmes are commonly structured over three years for eligible entrants, but current formats and availability are limited and can vary. Verify the approved entry qualification, teacher-education recognition, award structure, internship requirements and research supervision before applying.
Eligibility and admission
Applicants normally need a recognised postgraduate degree in science, social science or humanities, or another qualification specifically permitted by the institution and applicable norms. Selection may use entrance tests, qualifying marks, interviews and counselling under the university’s published criteria.
Career and further study
Graduates pursue teaching subject to recruitment rules, teacher education, curriculum development, assessment, academic coordination, education projects, policy support and research roles. Options include PhD in Education, specialist research, education leadership, policy, counselling and advanced teacher-educator development.
