PG DIP ULT

Studying on the MEd ULT

Students who successfully complete the PG Diploma
in ULT are eligible to progress onto the Master’s
level. This course is intended for students who
have developed a strong interest in educational
theory and literature. It will build on the themes and
concepts that were introduced during the Diploma
and students will complete a relatively small piece
of educational research. The enquiry may be related
to an area of interest that was developed within the
Diploma year and many students enrolling on the
course may already have ideas of an appropriate
piece of research.

It is important that students consider the time and
commitment that will be required to successfully
complete the Masters in Education and be aware
of the differences that exist in research methods
between the social sciences and the sciences. These
differences are significant and will require the student
to engage in academic study of the discipline. To this
end, there will be taught sessions devoted to research
methods within the social sciences, which students
are expected to attend.

As with all Imperial M level programmes this is a
demanding academic course and experience tells us
that those students achieving a merit or distinction at
Diploma level are better equipped for the challenges
of the MEd level. If you wish to discuss this please
