Part time study (The MEd)

The Master of Education

The part time MEd is undertaken over two years and is taught either through through weekly lectures and seminars or in some cases through blended learning. The weekly seminar based courses take place on a Wednesday afternoon from 2-7pm (during university term times) but this may vary. The blended learning courses involves Saturday conferences and an online element.

The course starts in early October and finishes with the submission of the thesis at the end of August two years later. All students are allocated an individual supervisor to support them through their studies.

There is no formal requirement for MEd students to live in or close to Cambridge but please do be aware that on all courses except Researching Practice and Science Teacher Researchers and Practitioners, you will be required to attend the Faculty weekly during term time and there is an 80% attendance requirement. Unlike the MPhil, admissions for the MEd are coordinated by the Faculty rather than the central university.
