In Fall 2027, Brock University will welcome the first cohort of students into its new Master of Professional Education (MPEd). Delivered fully online, the programme combines research, leadership, inclusivity, and digital innovation in a flexible format that allows professionals to study from anywhere while continuing to advance their careers.
Most importantly, it reflects the broader vision of Brock’s Faculty of Education (FOE): that education has the power to create meaningful change.
The MPEd represents everything the faculty stands for: a world that respects differences, advances social justice and raises community awareness. So, whether you work with pre-school children, K-12 students, or adult learners, the MPEd can teach you what you need to know about building learning environments where every individual can participate, contribute, and succeed.

If you’re an educator looking to take your career to the next level, there’s much to look forward to with the MPEd programme. There are three fields of study offered for you to choose from, as well as flexible delivery options that ensure you don’t have to drop your commitments to advance your learning. While courses are delivered online, they’re led by the same distinguished faculty and scholars that conduct the university’s in-person courses — experts who’ve made world-class contributions to their fields at the world’s best institutions.
The three fields of study offered
Universities are collectively working towards a more sustainable future. Just recently, the Times Higher Education Sustainability Impact Ratings 2026 had ranked 1,600 institutions worldwide for their progress in driving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, with an array of institutions said to be “doing great work to drive this agenda forward.” If sustainability stands at the centre of your core values as an educator, this field of study is perfect for you. It explores the policies and leadership approaches that help organisations create real change. Upon completion, expect to feel confident in your ability to build learning environments that benefit communities and the planet alike.
Educational Leadership for People, Planet, and Prosperity
As technology continues to transform learning environments, the industry must find ways to keep pace. Today, about 63% of K-12 teachers use digital tools every day, the number going up from 55% in 2016. Meanwhile, the global EdTech market is growing at a 14.5% Compound Annual Growth Rate. For educators, the challenge is no longer whether to use technology, but how to use it effectively. This field of study explores the relationship between technology, digital literacy, and learning, helping you understand how digital tools can enhance teaching, collaboration, and student engagement. Along the way, you will examine emerging technologies, multimodal communication, and digital pedagogies.
Living and Learning in a Connected World
It’s crucial for universities to build a supportive and engaging environment in which students can thrive. A study of 503 university students found that those with a stronger sense of belonging and higher academic engagement showed much greater subjective happiness and resilience than those with lower attributes. If you’re passionate about developing more equitable, socially just environments where each student thrives in their own identity, this is the field of study you’re looking for. On this path, you will explore different facets of wellbeing, belonging, and ethical dimensions of teaching and learning within the learning environment.
Creating Happy, Healthy, Just Educational Spaces
An education that fuels real career outcomes
Good educators deliver lessons. Great educators shape learning experiences, influence policy, lead teams, and drive meaningful change. That is why Brock University's Faculty of Education has spent more than 50 years nurturing professionals who go the extra mile.
Today, as one of the most respected Faculties of Education in Canada, its network of nearly 34,000 alumni spans schools, organisations, and learning environments around the world.
As the MPEd programme prepares to welcome its first cohort, it builds on a strong foundation of curricula that have helped educators deepen their expertise and expand their leadership capacity. Among them is the Master of Education (MEd), which has long supported professionals from diverse backgrounds in strengthening their knowledge of teaching and learning.

Adelia Spytkowsky
For Adelia Spytkowsk, the MEd played a pivotal role in shaping her academic and professional identity. “I further developed my research, critical thinking, and leadership skills while gaining a deeper understanding of teaching, learning, and development.”
The MEd offers two pathways for students to choose from. One of them is a Course-Based Pathway, and the other is research-based, with students able to complete either a Major Research Paper or Thesis. They can pursue up to two concentrations in fields such as “Adult and Postsecondary Education” or “Social Justice, Power, and Politics in Education.” Explore the rest of your options here.
“I grew as a critical thinker and sparked a stronger passion for contributing to higher education through research and mentorship,” Spytkowsk says. “The MEd reinforced my desire to pursue a career in academia, and it played a significant role in my decision to pursue a PhD. I now feel better prepared to contribute to the field as a future professor.”

What students and graduates have to say
"My time here at Goodman has been defined by the opportunities I created for myself outside the classroom. I became President of the Goodman Graduate Business Council, served as an International Ambassador and even developed a start-up business through the Brock LINC Navigate program. These experiences helped me grow more than any textbook."
