Professional Master of Education - Art and Design

Our Professional Master of Education in Art & Design is a new two-year full-time professional teacher education programme offered jointly by UCC and the Munster Technological University (MTU) - Crawford College of Art & Design (CCAD).

This Professional Master of Education (PME) leads to a professional qualification as a post-primary teacher of Art and Design. It is recognised and accredited by the Teaching Council of Ireland for the purpose of registration as a post-primary teacher of Art and Design in both Ireland and the EU.

The programme integrates three strands of study:

The practice of teaching Art and Design through two school placements - one per year of the programme;

Workshop attendance to broaden subject knowledge and meet the demands of the post-primary Art and Design curricula along with exploring Art and Design Pedagogy;

Lecture and tutorial attendance, at MTU, CCAD, and UCC. These lectures develop the requisite professional knowledge, skills, understanding and competencies of the student-teacher.
