Are you a teacher or educationalist who would like to develop your professional practice? The aim of this course is to support your career development while also enabling you to develop advanced research and study skills.

The content of the course can be tailored to your particular interests, with a range of modules available from our MA suite. Options include ‘Advanced Pedagogical Practice’, ‘Assessment Theory into Pedagogical Practice’ and ‘Leading Organisational Effectiveness in Education’. You can also choose to undertake a negotiated individual study in education. For those who are returning to higher education, we provide plenty of support including classes to assist with academic writing.

The research element of the course is excellent preparation if you decide to go on to a higher degree such as a PhD. The research element is supported by the University’s Centre for Pedagogy whose specialisms include teaching styles, motivation, human relationships in learning and comparative education.

The course takes account of the latest Teachers’ Standards which are about achieving the highest possible standards of professionalism.

We also offer a part-time Education MA and a distance learning Education MA, which may suit you if you need more flexible studying options.
