Summary
This flexible masters degree is for education professionals who wish to deepen their expertise and acquire transferable skills highly prized by employers. You'll tailor your studies by choosing from three specialist routes: learning and teaching, leadership and management, or inclusive practice. You can switch specialisms after your first module, allowing you to explore two different areas within one qualification. You'll complete your masters with a dissertation module. This gives you the option of conducting a small-scale inquiry on a topic of your choice, or completing an extended literature review and research proposal relevant to your professional interests and practice.

| Entry requirements | To study for this masters degree, you must hold a bachelors degree from a UK university or other recognised degree-awarding body, or a qualification at an equivalent level. In order to study this qualification, you do not need to be employed in an educational setting. However, it is important that you have some experience engaging with or working with learners, children, or young people, as our pathway disciplines (Learning and Teaching, Inclusive Practice, and Leadership and Management) are all explored through the lens of education. Therefore, you will need to be able to apply your learning to a relevant context or learning environment. This can be through employment or other means, such as volunteering and/or special arrangements undertaken for the purposes of your study. Apart from schools and colleges, other organisations providing educational services – such as health and care education environments, youth, play, or early years work, armed forces, business and commercial environments – all could provide suitable settings to apply your learning and later carry out your dissertation. Your spoken and written English must be of an adequate standard for postgraduate study. If English is not your first language, we recommend that you will need a minimum score of 7 under the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Please see their website for details. For the final module, E822, please note that Enhanced DBS clearance (or the equivalent in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland) is a UK legal requirement for working with children. Securing this clearance is the responsibility of you and your employer, not The Open University. If you are unsure about your eligibility or need further information, you should contact the relevant national agency in the country where you intend to undertake your work with children. |
