Master of Science - Language Education

The Language Education program is for teachers of ALL languages. Come with an expertise in one or more language(s) and receive training in how to best teach these languages based on the latest research in the field of language education.

The program is designed to develop the professional knowledge and skills of those with an interest in language and/or the teaching of languages. University of Edinburgh welcomes current and future teachers of all languages including English as a foreign or additional language, European languages, Mandarin and other world languages, Sign Languages, as well as any heritage, community or regional languages.

The program will develop students' knowledge and critical awareness of how they teach languages, how they learn languages and how they use languages, in order to enable them to best teach the languages they know. This program will enable students to become a ‘future thinking’ language educator, empowered to respond to transnational migration flows, digital developments, and various models of language education policy. The Language Education program is distinctive – it is positioned in the global world and seeks to develop Language Educators that are agents of change, ensuring their learners are equipped to become multilingual, pluriliterate citizens.
