Programme Description

The aim of the Master of Education (MEd) degree programme is to enhance the inquiry skills and executive capacity of experienced professional educators. The MEd programme is designed to provide flexibility to those who seek to broaden their understanding of education and to afford opportunities to those who wish to specialise in a defined area of study.

Enhanced flexibility is made possible by the provision of a General Stream , whilst the Programme with Specialisations in defined areas of study offers courses that both enrich students’ existing knowledge base and allow the pursuit of specialist knowledge at the Master-degree level. MEd students tailor their course of study to their own interests, and are able to enrol in the variety of courses offered by our four academic departments.

The programme is designed for professionals in education and corporate sectors to enable them to leverage information technologies in learning and teaching. To respond to the need of building up professional capacity in using technologies for the enhancement of learning and teaching, the programme provides training to integrate theories of learning with contemporary technologies to design and evaluate learning environments for schools and other educational settings. Target audiences of the programme are school teachers, government officials, courseware designers, IT professionals, educational product designers and trainers designing training programmes.

The programme will adopt a tripod curricular structure with the following three connected “pillars”:

  • Learning : To provide participants with the foundational theories of how learning takes place effectively in individuals and in a group or community
  • Technology : To equip participants with applied knowledge and skills in technologies for educational application
  • Design : To enable participants to explore various issues in the design of learning environments that utilize the affordance of new technologies to personalize the learning processes for learners

This programme is specially designed for educators interested in broadening their horizon of complex issues pertaining to educational system and in exploring ways in which they can make a positive difference in educational administration and policy. The programme assumes that leadership resides in and operates across various levels of the educational system – from teachers, principals, policy analysts, to officials– and addresses significant issues relevant to the public. Using a range of experiential and grounded approaches to learning, the programme enhances students’ conceptual and analytical skills that are essential for a comprehensive and critical understanding of the debates surrounding current education policies and practices and their wider implications for the society.

The programme balances theoretical and practical perspectives with reference to local and international experience and research. Students can choose whether to address these and other relevant topics through coursework or through a combination of coursework and supervised applied study.

This programme invites teachers and other professionals to jointly explore the new frontiers of educational psychology. Its aim is to provide stimulation and resources to effect positive changes in educational practice. Courses are designed around the constellations of learning and development to address the following concerns. What advances in knowledge can improve the design of learning environments and related assessments? In what ways can the psychology of higher order thinking illuminate our instructional design? What strategies are effective for motivating the unmotivated and for handling high-risk behaviour in adolescents? In light of new and still evolving perspectives, how can we better understand the nature of human abilities and their developmental variants (e.g. talents, giftedness and learning disabilities)? What are the possibilities for teacher development, and can such development ultimately serve as a resource for student development?

The psychologist Sigmund Freud purportedly described raising a child as an impossible task, akin to governing a nation. In performing this impossible task, parents exert profound influence on their children that extends well into adulthood. Parents, themselves, are also transformed in this process. Importantly, parents’ beliefs and practices are not only constantly shaped by the sociocultural context in which they reside, but also by the developing child and other agents of socialization. Understanding the complex dynamics of parenting is crucial for practitioners who seek to promote the wellness of the family, as well as children’s optimal development.

This program is designed to enable educational professionals and practitioners from diverse backgrounds to work with parents effectively in professional settings. Students will acquire in-depth knowledge about parenting, including its antecedents, mechanisms, and implications for both parents and children. They will also develop paraprofessional counseling skills for working with parents. Moreover, a range of core electives will allow students to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and challenges faced by parents of children in different developmental stages and with different psychological and educational needs.

EdUHK promotes the strategic development of teacher education in Hong Kong and beyond, by driving educational innovation, nurturing quality educators and professionals, as well as supporting them in their lifelong learning. These endeavours propel our teaching and research capabilities, which have been recognised internationally.

world-class executive development

The Executive Master of Arts in International Educational Leadership & Change was the perfect fit for my situation and career plans. The IELC programme was very real-world specific and applicable to both experienced and emerging school leaders working in an international setting. The programme professors were supportive and accessible, and most importantly, what I was studying linked directly to my daily work. An added bonus was that I was able to complete two IB leadership certificates during the programme. The EMA and IB certificates significantly strengthened my resume and knowledge base and helped secure my recent post in Tokyo, Japan. Kent MACLEOD Principal Canadian International School Tokyo (Japan)
The IELC program is not only for those that are beginning their journey into leadership but should also be considered by those that have been on the leadership path for a while. The program provides opportunities to authentically apply course material and research into everyday administrative experiences. The variety of educational experiences the course offers, tailored to the international school context makes this program valuable for leaders at any level within a school.” Bobby FAGOGENIS Assistant Head of School Chadwick International (South Korea)
It’s a wonderful destiny to join the IELC programme introduced by my colleague. When several online master programmes were recommended to me, one of the reasons I chose the IELC was because it contained the content of International Baccalaureate, which is the leading international curriculum, although it has not been introduced by my school yet. Through one year of learning in the IELC, I love it so much. There are always practical and effective leadership strategies, which is beneficial to my work and also life. IELC leads me a different attitude and altitude to be a leader and a teacher.” Wei SHANG Head Beijing Aidi Junior and Senior high school (Mainland China)
It is too easy for us to get buried in our everyday work and life. Sometimes we may even forget what the purposes are of doing the things we do. The IELC program is just like a mentor who keeps pushing you to move forward and think about the bigger picture. It is challenging in terms of the effort and time I must devote to the courses. Still, it is also tremendously beneficial as it enriches my mind both academically and interpersonally. I get the opportunity to read and study cutting-edge theories from professors and exchange ideas with educators from various background. I strongly recommend the IELC program to anyone who wants to improve themselves. Sylvia QIN Vice Principal of Secondary Section Guiyang Huaxi Country Garden International School (Mainland China)
I completed the IELC a few years ago and found it both engaging and challenging. It was great to connect with other leaders in the region to exchange ideas and approaches and to contextualise learning. The best part for me was the innovative approach to both the delivery of the course and the assignments, allowing us to step away from the usual essay writing to create assignments that were more meaningful and interactive based on our own settings. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to take a deeper dive into Educational Leadership, especially those with International experience. I made instant connections with the theories explored in this Masters and was able to see them ‘in action’ as I continued my learning journey. Katie LANGFORD Educator Malvern College (Hong Kong SAR)
The IELC has been fantastic throughout. The online programme is well designed with engaging lectures, and plenty of collaboration with lecturers and peers. I particularly enjoyed linking the learning in each course to my school context. The School Inquiry Project and the School-based Improvement Institute were great ways to apply learning and connect with other educators. I have made professional connections and I am excited to be a part of the alumni association. Michael SWINDELLS Elementary Homeroom Teacher Seisen International School (Japan)
It is no exaggeration to state that completing the Executive Master of Arts in International Educational Leadership and Change offered by the Department of Education Policy and Leadership has profoundly changed my life for the better. The IELC has not only allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of contemporary leadership styles and approaches in a holistic manner but also to build meaningful relationships with peers, faculty, and leaders through sustained and focused collaboration on a wide range of topical educational perspectives and complex issues. Furthermore, this programme of study has facilitated deep personal reflection on how to best serve others in a leadership capacity. If educational leadership is of interest to you, I would not hesitate to recommend the Executive Master of Arts in International Educational Leadership and Change.  Daniel HERBER International Educator
I am thoroughly enjoying my studies in the Executive Masters of Arts in International Educational Leadership and Change programme at The Education University of Hong Kong. The courses are highly relevant and provide a wealth of insights from faculty of top experts in the field. I am also benefiting tremendously from the diverse perspectives of my peers and building my professional network in the region. The programme offers great flexibility to balance my studies with work commitments as well. I feel this EMA is a great pathway to grow as an international education leader and change agent. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity and experience. Stan KRIVAK Academic Director Nanning No.2 High School International Department

Experiential learning.

Experiential learning opportunities occur in various ways both within our teacher preparation programmes - either as a compulsory part of a course such as on the PGDE programme, or as a stand-alone credit-bearing component as seen on our UG programmes. They can also be non-credit bearing experiences beyond the programmes. These learning opportunities may take various forms, including undergraduate research projects, language immersion programmes, exchange studies, service learning projects, and internship opportunities. Student have the chance to undertake experiential learning through extended participation with overseas and/or local community projects, but regardless of where they occur, experiential projects promoted by the Faculty aim at enhancing students' understanding of real-world environments, expanding their capacity to integrate theory and practice, and broadening their global outlook.

Fighting Sexual Temptation? Play Badminton, Hong Kong Tells Teenagers.

Top officials in the Chinese territory have defended new sex education guidance that critics call regressive. Young people are amused.

People playing badminton in a gym.

By Olivia Wang and Mike Ives

Olivia Wang reported from Hong Kong.

A 15-year-old girl and her boyfriend are studying alone together on a hot summer day when she removes her jacket and clings to his shoulder. What should he do?

In Hong Kong, the authorities advise the young man to continue studying or to seek a diversion, including badminton, to avoid premarital sex and other “intimate behaviors.”

Critics, including lawmakers and sex educators, say that the Chinese territory’s new sex education materials are regressive. But top officials are not backing down, and the standoff is getting kind of awkward.

“Is badminton the Hong Kong answer to sexual impulses in schoolchildren?” the South China Morning Post newspaper asked in a headline over the weekend.

Hong Kong teenagers find it all pretty amusing. A few said on social media that the officials behind the policy have their “heads in the clouds.” Others have worked it into sexual slang, talking about “friends with badminton” instead of “friends with benefits.”

The sex ed materials were published last week by the Education Bureau in a 70-page document that includes worksheets for adolescents and guidance for their teachers. The document emphasizes that the lessons are not designed to encourage students to “start dating or having sexual behaviors early in life.” It also advises people in a “love relationship” to fill out a form setting the limits of their intimacy.
