Summary
The RCM Master of Education is an advanced taught degree programme with research elements that develops students’ vocational skills by building on their music educational experience out in the profession. The programme is suitable for orchestral and other graduate professional musicians who have experience in education (educational work, community music, individual teaching, etc.), conservatoire Junior Department teachers; music staff in specialist schools, senior College/conservatoire professors new to higher education teaching, music teachers working in schools, community, and other settings, who satisfy the application requirements.
The programme is designed to fit around a professional musician’s portfolio career commitments. Students complete a major independent research project based on their own experience, and build a portfolio of practice evidencing their professional development. Contact time is structured around intensive study blocks with weekly face to face classes and observational placement opportunities for some optional modules. Students study a combination of modules that enable them to analyse, develop and share their own practice, building a portfolio of evidence and conducting in-depth action research investigating an area of their own choice.
The programme is available part time over a period of two to four years. A full-time route is also available over 12 months (students requiring a visa to study in the UK must select this option).
Please note that this programme is not an initial teacher education programme and therefore does not carry UK Qualified Teacher Status.
