The MA in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (for third-level education teachers) is designed to build on the Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and to encourage you to research your teaching and your students’ learning in more depth. Teachers will identify a research topic to pursue and will write a publishable paper for a specific teaching and learning journal in their own disciplinary field or in the broader educational field of the scholarship of teaching and learning. The focus of the Master’s is to encourage you to identify with your teaching as research, to peer review your teaching, to network with peers interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning, and to publish in this field.
