Summary
**Our MA Education (Leadership and Management) pathway will benefit teachers and educationalists from all education sectors, including administration, who are looking to enhance their skills, share knowledge, and develop professionally.**
Aimed at ambitious educational leaders and future leaders, this master's course is designed to be flexible to meet the needs of busy professionals and to reflect your own interests. This course is offered on both a full-time and part-time basis.
Up-to-date research evidence supports and underpins everything we do, helping you to deepen your understanding of teaching and learning. You will analyse the key concepts in educational leadership and management theory within the context of an ever-changing political climate and increasing accountability.
The course also provides an excellent foundation to doctoral studies in education, or as a stepping stone to our successful part-time Professional Doctorate in Education (EdD).
At the Institute of Education, we recognise the uniqueness of every student and we address our teaching to suit your individual needs. Your tutors are internationally or nationally renowned experts, and their research regularly has a direct impact on school curricula and learning techniques — both in the UK and abroad. As experts in their field, their research also directly informs the focus and content of your course.
Our teaching is interactive, experiential and innovative. We utilise a wide variety of technologies to enhance your learning, including use of presentation tools, interactive whiteboards, mixed media, social media and mobile technologies in our teaching, and screen capture in assessment.
**Facilities**
The Institute of Education is based on our historic London Road campus, which has undergone a £30m refurbishment of the classical Oxford-cloistered quadrangle to create a dedicated world-class education centre.
We have created custom-built spaces for the teaching of specialist subjects, including:
- modern laboratories
- musical studios, including an electronic drum kit room and a recording studio
- well-equipped art studios and facilities for the practise of work in drawing, painting, sculpture and mixed media
- studios for wet photography and printmaking, including silk screen.
Alongside these fantastic facilities, you will also find places to eat and drink, as well as plenty of green space to relax in.
**The Learning Hub**
We have an incredible collection of teaching and research resources housed in the Learning Hub. A treasure trove for teachers and researchers, the Learning Hub contains an extensive selection of teaching aids for loan or reference, from big books to puppets. A printing and binding facility, and technical equipment library are also available for your use.
**Research**
The quality of our research was recognised in the latest Research Excellence Framework (2014), the system for assessing the quality of research in UK higher education institutions, which placed the Institute of Education in the top quartile of Education departments in the UK.
Over 80% of our research publications were rated as world leading or internationally excellent. The impact of our research on educational policy and practice in first and second language education was judged to be world leading.
