Postgraduate Prospectus

This course has start dates in January and September.  It can also be taken as an intensive summer school course.

While each subject area has its own unique focus, all are concerned with investigating contemporary educational issues in the light of economic and social contexts, appropriate literature and the shared experience of course members.

The overall purpose of the masters programmes is to deepen and refine your capacity for critical reflection on your practice as well as on the mental models which inform your work. Systematic inquiry is therefore an organising principle that underpins all modules on the programme, and you will be encouraged to identify issues that are significant to you and your organisation.

A hallmark of the MA Education is its commitment to equity and diversity, and its flexibility to meet the needs of individuals and organisations. Flexibility is evident in terms of offering students:

• a range of exit points en-route to a full masters programme
• a range of module options to create a personally and professionally meaningful qualification
• a range of modes of delivery to take account of individual needs and professional contexts

• The School of Education is one of the largest and most respected education departments of any UK university, leading the way in research and teaching quality
• Our academics are major national and international figures, in a wide variety of subject areas
