The MEEF master's degree in primary education is offered at all five sites of the Faculty of Education and takes place over two years, with a total timetable of around 900 hours. It is made up of around thirty teaching units (UE) that enable students to acquire the knowledge in different disciplines and develop the professional skills needed to pass the competitive examination and practise their profession.
In the first year, students complete a six-week internship (Stage d'Observation et de Pratique Accompagnée - SOPA) at various schools.
In the second year, the internship takes up a third of the year, and is carried out either on a sandwich basis, with responsibility for a class (contract signed with the education authority), or as a supervised practice internship.
The Master MEEF also offers two additional specific courses: a "regional languages" course and a hybrid distance learning course (FADH) alternating face-to-face (two groupings per semester, SOPA, final exams) and distance learning.
This course is designed for students with a good command of language and mathematics.
Training to become a school teacher and preparing for the oral and written tests of the CRPE competitive examination for the recruitment of school teachers.
All elementary school disciplines are covered, including their interdisciplinary dimensions. The Master's program also offers a solid grounding in general pedagogy, giving students a better understanding of the organization and values of the education system.
The Master's program includes research training in the fields of didactics and education and training sciences, with links to research laboratories. This training leads to the writing of a Master's thesis in M2.
To enroll in the Master's program, students must hold a national diploma conferring the grade de licence, or a validation of prior learning as stipulated in articles L613-3, L613-4 and L613-5 of the French Education Code.
Admission to M1 is based on a study of the candidate's file. The results obtained in the bachelor's program are taken into account, as well as criteria based on the closeness of the candidate's previous career to the CRPE exams and the profession itself (type of bachelor's degree obtained, pre-professionalization courses, etc.).
To enter M2, you must have successfully completed M1 or, in exceptional cases, be able to validate prior learning.
For both M1 and M2, students in the "regional languages" course are enrolled in Carcassonne or Mende for Occitan, and in Perpignan for Catalan.
Students on the FADH course are enrolled in Carcassonne, including those on the FADH Occitan regional language course. Students can refer to the specific brochure presenting the MEEF 1er degré LR course or the specific brochure for the MEEF 1er degré FADH course.
