Course Overview

The MA in International Education is a rigorous qualification that provides you with several opportunities to research your particular area of interest, building on your knowledge in this specialized area.

You will study two core modules, choose one of the three Pathways and complete a dissertation.

You will be able to develop your knowledge and skills by applying your learning to real-life situations within your educational setting - whether that is a school, college, or university. The MA is a powerful vehicle for institutional improvement and personal and professional development. You will develop an ability to reflect critically on theory in teaching and learning, culture, power, and educational leadership and use it to understand and improve practice.

You will develop research skills and be given training in using qualitative and quantitative research methods in educational contexts. In addition, you will be equipped with methodological knowledge and skills for your career in education or further research at the doctoral level, should you wish to continue your studies.
