Professional Masters of Education (PME 1)

The PME at the School of Education, University College Dublin is a two-year, full-time Level 9 programme which is creative, innovative and a leading model in teacher education internationally. Consecutive in nature, it is a progressive, developmental model which pays systematic attention to: dispositions, values and beliefs regarding professionalism as public service and commitment to social justice with confidence, competence and appropriate expertise, both disciplinary and pedagogical. The programme combines the
positive features of the concurrent and consecutive models, with an emphasis on integration and professional coherence. A key element of the PME is practice-oriented enquiry which is both rigorous and systematic, and one which builds relevant and sustainable synergies between theory and practice.
