Course Overview

Students coming to our full-time MA Education because they aspire to a new career in education, tell us they gain skills and knowledge to demonstrate their commitment and competence as preparation for professional practice, or for policy roles.

Students who are already employed in a professional education role will benefit from choosing one of our applied programmes (MA Education: Policy and Practice; MA Education: Additional Learning Needs; MA Leadership in Education). These programmes are designed to offer professional learning as an opportunity to develop existing practices.

Many of our students find they are able to secure promotions or enhanced professional roles, often before the programme of study has ended. The emphasis on analytical reflective practice helps students articulate their professional thinking and practice in interview situations.

Many of our graduates go on to study at the doctoral level, and this may also lead to teaching or research roles in higher education. Our personal tutors and dissertation supervisors work with our students to discuss options for doctoral study.

General Eligibility

Applicants must have a relevant initial degree at 2:1 classification or above. Applicants with a lower degree will be considered if they can demonstrate verifiable relevant professional experience or other forms of professional learning.
