Summary

Why study this course?

Our Education MA course will help you develop the knowledge and skills you need to progress within, or begin, a career in education. You’ll be taught an academic framework that will help you analyse educational issues and develop your own professional practice.

More about this course

This master’s course has been specially designed to introduce you to the academic debates associated with education. Successful completion of the course will help you progress within your current education role or start a new career in the sector.

Your own experience of different UK and international contexts will be used to enrich your learning in class. You’ll study the key influences on education in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in order to develop the intellectual tools you need to engage with current educational policy and provision.

We’ll teach you how the school curriculum is led and managed. This will help you understand the purposes of the curriculum and how it influences pupils’ learning.

Specialist option modules will allow you to explore subjects that are of particular interest to you. These include Web-based Learning and Teaching, Understanding the Language Classroom and the Specialist Study Module, which allows you to explore an education-focused topic of your own choice (in agreement with your supervisor) in greater depth.

You can complete this course as a postgraduate diploma by taking four core modules and two option modules. You could also choose to study for a postgraduate certificate in education by studying three core modules that include the Critical Theory and Education module and either the Curriculum Leadership or Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment module.
