The MSc in Engineering and Education is a world-leading, flexible, interdisciplinary social science course that offers multiple study pathways, including a 180-credit MSc, a 120-credit Postgraduate Diploma, and a 60-credit Postgraduate Certificate. All pathways will provide you with a mix of theoretical and practical ideas and frameworks and skills, including the use of generative AI, to enhance and diversify research and pedagogic skills to creatively address the 21st-century challenges facing the fields of engineering education, STEM and engineering practice. A focus on leadership and the development of professional skills is emphasised throughout, with inputs from industry experts, UCL researchers and policy stakeholders. The MSc, Certificate, and Diploma options are designed for graduates of engineering or related STEM disciplines, as well as engineering educators, policymakers, and practicing engineers. The course aims to develop the skills and knowledge required to engage with cutting edge issues, such as general artificial intelligence, sustainable development and ethics, and learning and working in international contexts (see option modules), while introducing innovative models of teaching and researching in engineering education or STEM courses via the core modules to challenge and enhance pedagogy. Students enrolled on the MSc can study on a full-time, part-time or flexible basis. Students enrolled on the Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma can study on a full-time or part-time basis only. The course is aimed at: graduates from engineering degrees or cognate STEM degrees. engineering teachers and lecturers in colleges and universities. practicing engineers and human resource managers and other specialists in the engineering industry. employees of Professional Associations and Engineering Institutes. science and other specialist teachers and lecturers interested in converting to engineering specialisms. individuals wishing to progress into any of these roles.
