MA Education has Placement Year, a one-year course option and Advanced Research pathway. The work placement takes place in the second year of the course and is normally unpaid. During this year, you will be supported by our Placement Team to identify and apply for year-long placement opportunities that reflect the skills and knowledge you have gained.
