Education MA

The Education MA encourages and enables students to think deeply and critically about education. This stimulating programme supports students in the process of beginning to articulate, explain and justify their own position within the complex and diverse field of education studies.The course will support your development as an educational practitioner and researcher in various ways. We encourage and assist you to think deeply and critically about education and support you in the process of beginning to articulate, explain and justify your own position within the complex and diverse field of education studies. We will encourage you to make a contribution to the field of education studies based on a grounded understanding of your own position and drawing on your own contexts. To do this we introduce various themes, such as curriculum, pedagogy, assessment and relationships between education and society, whilst encouraging you to relate these to your chosen contexts. This is a broad based, generalist programme suited for those with a serious interest in education practice, policy and research. It suits those aiming to work in education policy, development or research as well as educators looking for career development in a wide range of contexts. The Education MA is not a teacher education programme and, since it does not include a practice component, it is highly unlikely to satisfy teacher certification requirements. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.

A minimum of a second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. (Please note: one or two optional modules may have additional, specific entry requirements).
