MA in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education is now open for applications

The MA in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education 2025/26 is now open for applications.
The MA in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (for third-level education teachers) is designed to encourage you to research your teaching and your students’ learning in more depth. Teachers will identify a research topic to pursue and will write a publishable paper for a specific teaching and learning journal in their own disciplinary area or in the broader educational field of the scholarship of teaching and learning. The focus of the MA is to encourage you to identify with your teaching an inquiry process, to peer review your teaching, to network with peers interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning, and to publish in this field.
At CIRTL, we coordinate teaching development courses for third level teachers and modules in teaching and learning for postgraduate students who teach. Our teaching development courses provide staff who teach in higher education with an ideal opportunity to develop their teaching skill set and enhance learning. By realising teaching potential through accredited programmes, this professional development has the potential to enhance career opportunities.

*NB: Please make sure you make an application via UCC Apply before the final closing date of 31st July 2025.
