For further information about the Masters programme and how to apply, please visit the Masters webpages. Please note the deadlines for applying and make clear on your application that you are a Faculty PPD student wishing to be admitted to the second year of the MEd programme.  If you are applying to do the MEd in one year, you should select Master of Education (PACES) from the course drop down list.

IMPORTANT

Please note that due to external accreditation requirements it is not possible to complete the Psychology & Education route or the Counselling route in one year (these routes require a further two years of part time study).  Therefore, if you are a Counselling PDES student on the accredited route and applying for the 2 year MEd, you should select 'Masters of Education' from the the drop down list and not Masters of Education (PACES).
