MSc Transformative Learning and Teaching in 2025

We are always trying to evolve and develop the programmes that we offer. This year, MSc Transformative Learning and Teaching will be undertaking a pause to allow a period of redevelopment. As a result, we will not have a new cohort joining us in September 2025.  We plan to deliver the redeveloped programme for a new group of students from September 2026.

Would you like to receive details about the programme redevelopment, or be notified when the programme is open for applications?

At Moray House, we help our students to develop the skills and confidence to become transformative teachers who have the potential to change the lives of children and young people for the better. We do this by adopting a future-oriented approach to teacher education designed to support teachers to address pressing local and global challenges, including the unacceptable attainment gap between pupils coming from the richest and poorest backgrounds in Scotland.

You’ll learn to understand teaching as a political, cultural, intellectual and moral action, and use this understanding to inform your classroom practice and your relationships with learners and the communities you teach in.

This two-year Masters programme is for graduates who want a teaching qualification designed to make an explicit difference to the lives of children and young people. It will support you in becoming a beginning teacher with a transformative orientation.

Our vibrant community is made up of top-class students with strong undergraduate degrees who come from many different parts of the world. Read their advice and thoughts on their experience studying at Edinburgh.

Our graduates are qualified to teach and eligible for provisional registration from the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS). Eligible graduates may join the Teacher Induction Scheme, a guaranteed, paid one-year probationary teaching post, or take up a Flexible Route.
