Summary

Build on the leadership skills you gained in your Teach First training to earn a full Master’s degree. - Continue your studies and add to your existing PGCE / PGDE to attain a Teach First Master's.

  • Learn how to be an effective leader and use this knowledge to help improve the outcomes of children and young people.

  • Teaching takes place online and outside usual working hours, to fit around your current teaching responsibilities.

If you're an ambitious Teach First graduate, this course develops your leadership and research skills so that you can fast-track your career.

Building on the Teach First PGDE or PGCE that you've already completed, it offers an extra 60 or 120 credits. This allows you to "top-up" your previous learning to earn a full MA. Master's degrees are recognised both nationally and internationally, and our graduates can take their expertise into a range of settings and locations.

Education offers individuals and communities the best chance to take control of their future. The MA in Educational Leadership at BSU draws on global research and Teach First's values. It encourages you to question, analyse, and evaluate the challenges that education providers face both locally and globally.

Leadership in education has many dimensions. You’ll already lead learning in your classroom. Through an extended research project, you'll interrogate leadership as a social construct and relate theory and research to your own context.

With this research, you could deliver changes in subject provision, extracurricular activities, departmental initiatives or organisational change. When you graduate, you’ll be able to demonstrate to current and future employers that you’re a teacher-researcher who can lead impactful change in education.

MA

Bath Spa University is about more than studying. It’s about getting stuck in: thinking, making and doing. About bumping into friends on campus, embracing challenges and genuinely caring. We push boundaries and ourselves. If that sounds good to you, you’ll fit in well.
