BRAC University has formalised the details of its Master of Education (MEd) in Educational Leadership and School Improvement, a professional development initiative aimed at bolstering the strategic and pedagogical capacities of educators.

The curriculum is designed to address a broad spectrum of professional competencies, ranging from academic research and advanced communication to school management and critical problem-solving. Offered through a modular system, the programme provides two distinct pathways for candidates: a Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) consisting of 27 credits over 18 months, and a full Master of Education (MEd), which spans 24 months and includes a 36-credit requirement inclusive of a 9-credit dissertation.

In a move reflecting modern academic trends, the university confirmed that the course will utilise a blended learning modality. Students will conduct 70% of their coursework via online platforms, while the remaining 30% will require in-person attendance at the university’s main campus.

Admission Criteria and Eligibility

The university has established rigorous academic benchmarks for prospective students. Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree representing at least 15 years of formal education, with a minimum CGPA of 2.5 or a second-class standing from a recognised institution.

Secondary education requirements are equally specific:

• National Curriculum: A minimum GPA of 2.5 or second-division standing in both SSC and HSC examinations.
• International Curriculum: For O-Level and A-Level candidates, a minimum GPA of 2.5 is required across both tiers. Only one ‘E’ grade is permissible throughout the A-Level results.

University officials clarified that Foundation and GED programmes will not be recognised for admission purposes. Furthermore, the selection process will pivot on a mandatory interview for all candidates meeting the preliminary academic thresholds.
