Bachelor in Education (Primary)

Helping young people learn has to be one of the most satisfying and rewarding careers of all. By choosing the B.Ed. (Primary) programme, you embark on a four-year course that will prepare you for working in primary schools in Ireland. You will find out how children learn to read, write, count and calculate; you’ll learn how to introduce them to the arts, the magic and the mysteries of the world around them, and teach them how to grow and develop in a healthy way. This year, MIE is offering 30 additional places on this programme.

Bachelor in Science (Early Childhood Education)

In order to enhance existing provision of courses for preparing early childhood practitioners, MIE is delighted to offer this new level 8 degree which is accredited by Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin. The flexible delivery of this programme makes it attractive both to those who intend to work in the sector and to those who are already employed there.

Bachelor in Science (Education Studies)

Education happens in all kinds of places and throughout our lives – not just in school buildings and not just in our early years. If you choose the B.Sc. (Education Studies), you learn about the many ways, times and places in which people learn, and how these have changed over time. You will come to appreciate how education can enhance people’s lives and how different approaches benefit different people at different times of their lives, depending on what they need to learn. Learn about the formal and informal educational opportunities available to people, whether it is their first or second chance to experience for themselves the benefits of education.

Postgraduate programme: Professional Master of Education (Primary)

If you are a graduate who is interested in embarking on a postgraduate programme in primary teaching, you can apply for our Professional Master of Education (Primary) until 2nd June 2023 (5pm). This year, MIE is offering 50 new places on the programme.

The Professional Master of Education (Primary) prepares graduates to enter the teaching profession. On entering the programme, students are embarking on a programme that combines professional preparation and research training. The programme emphasises the acquisition of key teaching practices and students are expected to develop a wide range of practical teaching skills both during their time in MIE and on school-based placement. Alongside this, the programme has a significant academic dimension and students are required to develop competency in educational research and to complete a dissertation on a relevant research area of their choice. The PME (Primary Teaching) is a two-year full-time programme which meets the professional requirements of regulation two (primary) of the Teaching Council Regulations.
