Modules are offered on a two year rotation cycle. Not all modules are offered every year.

Its flexible modular design offers the opportunity of completing a Master of Education Degree full-time, in one year, or part-time, over two or more years. It is a 90 credit degree with each module counting for 10 credits. In their final year students choose to complete either a thesis (thirty credits) or a capstone project (twenty credits).
Modules are taught on weekday evenings. Some are offered as Easter and Summer School choices.
