Master of Education (Mathematics Education) PACES entry only

The PACES-MEd Mathematics Education route is for anyone with a research or professional interest in mathematics education at any level of education (primary, secondary, or tertiary), wanting to undertake advanced study in a world-class setting. The Mathematics Education route is taught by a specialist team, and it is ideal for researchers, teachers, school leaders, and other professionals looking to take the next step in their career in Mathematics Education. Many of our students are working professionals who continue in full-time posts while studying.
The Mathematics Education course develops students' understanding of a number of important issues in the field of mathematics education. Students learn to interpret and critically engage with ideas and debates in mathematics education research in three ways:

• taught sessions in mathematics education;
• work on course assignments under the supervision of a member of the teaching team; and
• participation in seminars led by students on the route and in project workshops.

The PACES-MEd course introduces students to research skills and specialist knowledge. Its main aims are as follows:

• to examine the theoretical frameworks used in the study of education and its constituent disciplines;
• provide training in research methods appropriate to education;
• advance students’ capacity for professional reflection and judgment;
• cater to a range of specialists interested within the field of education or one of its constituent disciplines.
