This flexible programme is aimed at educators and education professionals that want to gain additional knowledge and skills to help improve their practice through a general, rather than specialised, programme of master's level study. MA Education is unique in the School of Education insofar as there are no modules dedicated to, or associated with, the programme; instead, you select modules that interest you from the other specialised MA programmes offered. These may be modules that explore different aspects of educational leadership, the use of technology to support learning, child development, or teaching English to speakers of other languages among others. At the same time, you’ll build your knowledge of educational research methods and apply them to your own dissertation on a related topic. With our excellent library resources and your own experience of working in an education context, you’ll be in a great position to pursue your interests and focus on the topics that suit your career ambitions. You’ll also improve your skills in written and oral communication, analysis, research, leadership qualities and data collection: all vital for a career in any sector of education. This programme is unique in that you may draw upon the expertise across the School of Education. That means you'll have access to the knowledge and experience of leading researchers across a diverse range of topics.
