Master of Education

Homerton is delighted to continue to be the home College for those who wish to take up the one year part-time Master of Education course (MEd) available to those who have completed their PGCE training at Cambridge. We also warmly welcome those who may wish to join Homerton from other Colleges for this year and those who wish to enrol in the two-year part-time MEd course. We have a large cohort of part-time MEd students and highly value the extra dimension to the College community.

All students must become a member of a College while they are in Cambridge. Homerton College has close ties with the Faculty of Education, which is situated alongside and within the College's grounds, and many of our senior members are also involved with delivering MEd programmes.

Founded in London in 1768, Homerton moved to Cambridge just before 1900. Once an academy for the Nonconformist Church, then a renowned teacher-training college, Homerton has been, since 2010, a full College of the University of Cambridge, offering a full range of academic subjects.

As the newest Cambridge College, we get to do things a little differently while still bringing 250 years of our own distinctive history to the task. Our first address, in 1768, was in Homerton High Street in London, and since then we’ve been able to adapt constantly as the needs of our world have changed.

Homerton is one of the most attractive Colleges in Cambridge, with a mixture of old and new buildings set in spacious wooded grounds away from the noisy centre of town. It is also the largest College in terms of student numbers, with a thriving and diverse community.
