Summary
The MA Education (Cognitive Science and Learning) has been designed to help realise the life and career ambitions of a diverse body of professionals who are working in education and related settings. In exploring the relation between cognitive science and the disciplines of psychology, philosophy and educational practice, this programme provides you with opportunities to develop theoretical and practice knowledge and skills to positively influence the lives of learners across all age phases and of all types of learning needs and abilities. You will also develop skills of intellectual synthesis and analysis, critical writing, and confident dissemination to enable you to lead and transform institutions, policy, academic literature, and public debate about education. If you are seeking to develop your practice and gain expertise in the field of education, then this is the programme for you. Furthermore, the knowledge, understanding and skills nurtured on this MA will prepare individuals for further study at PhD and EdD level.
You will benefit from exceptional personalised support, tailored to your individual professional interests, and needs, and a flexible delivery model, consisting of twilight on campus sessions enhanced by activities on our VLE. The blend of students from different professional backgrounds will enable discussion, debate, and the sharing of experiences in a supportive and welcoming environment, facilitated by staff who are experts in education theory and practice. You will also develop essential transferable skills, from purposeful and effective communication to utilising a range of media, making justifiable decisions in complex and unpredictable situations, and planning appropriate targets for improvement.
