The MSc Comparative Education and International Development (CEID) programme provides you with both:
- an academic foundation in the theories, issues, and current debates in comparative education and international development
- the flexibility to follow your professional interests through a wide range of option courses
In the programme, we adopt a social justice perspective. Our expert faculty share cross-national and cross-cultural examples from around the world to help you understand how the global and local shape education policy, and the role education plays in various aspects of development, including health, peacebuilding and citizenship.
Exposure to experts across the University and practitioners in the field will allow you to further your networks and consider a multitude of post-graduation possibilities.
Programme benefits
At the end of this programme, you will have a more critical understanding of the policies, politics, histories, ideas and cultural practices that influence education.
The programme also builds on the University of Edinburgh's and Scotland’s desires to be responsible international actors. It takes advantage of Edinburgh as a capital city by connecting with the Scottish Parliament and local organisations in the CEID field.
The capstone approach to the dissertation allows you to apply to complete placement-based dissertations with local, regional or global organisations.
As a student in the MSc CEID Programme, you have the opportunity to participate in the dynamic CEID Community based at the Moray House School of Education and Sport. Beyond the MSc CEID programme, you benefit from:
- access to the CEID Research Group, which brings together over 50 researchers across the University to learn from and share their research in the CEID field
- the ability to join the CEID Student Society – one of the few student-run societies focused on the graduate student experience, holding regular social, academic and networking events
