The MA by Research is research-based Masters programme. It is assessed by a thesis of 40,000 words maximum. You will be encouraged to participate in a research training programme, but you will not be required to complete assignments for research training modules you attend. It is suitable for those who are interested in developing their independent research skills and many students who complete this course progress onto PhD study afterwards.

Our academic expertise in the School of Education covers a broad range of disciplines which are grouped into three main departments:

We also have a number of highly successful research centres which reflect the diversity of our research activity. The results of the latest 2021 Research Excellent Framework (REF) show that the School of Education is ranked 3rd in the UK for its 4* research.

We provide a comprehensive programme of research training, together with opportunities to take part in research seminars where speakers with national and international reputations present work that is at the forefront of current debates within the field.
