Master in Teaching and Learning (M.Ed)
University of Malta
Course Overview
The University of Malta — the EU's English-speaking Mediterranean university, with a teaching tradition dating to 1592 — offers a Master in Teaching and Learning (M.Ed) through its Faculty of Education. The programme develops advanced pedagogy, curriculum and assessment, inclusive and digital education, and classroom research, with a focus on reflective practice and a dissertation. As an English-medium EU degree at modest cost, it is an accessible route to a recognised European postgraduate education qualification.
Sri Lankan applicants — practising teachers and education graduates — choose Malta for: an English-medium EU education credential, far lower tuition and living costs than the UK or Ireland, a safe English-speaking environment, and Malta's post-study work pathway within the EU. As Sri Lanka professionalises teaching and reforms its curriculum, this qualification is directly relevant. The M.Ed suits classroom teachers seeking promotion, curriculum and education-development roles, and those preparing for doctoral study or international-school careers.
