Course Information

Course Overview

The Master of Education (M.Ed) at Kings University College is a professionally rigorous postgraduate programme designed to develop the advanced knowledge, leadership capabilities, and research skills required for senior roles in education administration, curriculum development, educational technology, and academic leadership. Delivered over one year full-time or two years part-time — with an Online Distance Learning (ODL) option available — this MQA-accredited degree equips education professionals with the theoretical depth and applied expertise to drive meaningful change across educational institutions, corporate learning environments, and public education systems.

The M.Ed is structured around five core modules covering the essential foundations of postgraduate education study — Seminar in Education, Assessing Learning in Higher Education, Curriculum and Instruction in Higher Education, Research Methods in Education, and Project Paper in Educational Management — before students specialise in one of three focused areas: Educational Technology, Educational Management and Leadership, or Curriculum. This specialisation structure allows students to tailor the M.Ed to their specific professional context and career goals, whether they are working in schools, higher education, corporate training, government educational agencies, or international development organisations.

Studying a Master of Education in Malaysia at Kings University College gives international students access to a high-quality, internationally recognised postgraduate education qualification at significantly lower cost than equivalent programmes in Australia, the UK, or Singapore — while studying in a genuinely multicultural, English-medium academic environment. Kings’ M.Ed is particularly relevant for educators working in the Asia-Pacific region, where the rapid growth of digital learning, education technology, and international curriculum standards is creating strong demand for postgraduate-qualified education leaders and specialists.

Upon completion, M.Ed graduates can progress directly into Kings’ Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) or PhD programme — continuing toward doctoral-level research and the highest academic and professional qualifications available within Kings University College.
