Course information

The International Education programme at the University of St Andrews is a 12-month course run by the International Education Institute. It is designed to be useful to experienced practitioners in the field of international education, as well as those considering working in this area.

Highlights

In addition to the five compulsory modules, choose three optional modules and a dissertation topic to explore your interests while interacting with our students from a diverse range of nationalities and backgrounds, and join the International Education Institute community of practitioners and scholars.

The modules are taught by an interdisciplinary team from different parts of the University to provide input from a range of academic and practical backgrounds.

Study modules in the applied management and organisational behaviour aspects of leading an organisation as well as modules related to teaching and learning.

Discuss theoretical concepts and frameworks in small groups and in writing in online forums with students studying both in St Andrews and by distance learning around the world, and apply these through theoretical and more practical assessments.

Participate in an optional non-credit module in Professional and Academic Literacies to support both your studies and your career development.
