The Master of Professional Education (MPE) is founded on the principles of effective education and allied future trends.  Three courses in particular respond to the practical needs of contemporary educators:  Assessment and Evaluation; Learning Management; and Managing Diversity. In addition, students are extended into the emerging fields of teaching in the context of the global economy and using e-learning.  Skills are developed for educational leadership and all students undertake a research project in their chosen field of professional education.  The program challenges students to expand the parameters of education while developing a traditional knowledge and skill base.
