Course content

Our Education MA course will help you develop the knowledge and skills you need to progress within, or begin, a career in education. You’ll be taught an academic framework that will help you analyse educational issues and develop your own professional practice.

In the most recent Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey, 100% of all 2017 graduates from this course were in work or further study within six months.

This master’s course has been specially designed to introduce you to the academic debates associated with education. Successful completion of the course will help you progress within your current education role or start a new career in the sector.

Your own experience of different UK and international contexts will be used to enrich your learning in class. You’ll study the key influences on education in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in order to develop the intellectual tools you need to engage with current educational policy and provision.

We’ll teach you how the school curriculum is led and managed. This will help you understand the purposes of the curriculum and how it influences pupils’ learning.
