The International Education MA campus-based course is designed for education professionals across all phases (early years, primary, secondary, and tertiary education), as well as recent graduates or professionals seeking to enter the education sector or other social organizations with a broad educational focus.

• Deepen your understanding of contemporary educational issues at national and international levels, with a focus on those directly relevant to your professional context.
• Enhance your ability to critically engage with learning and pedagogical theories, applying them to improve educational practices.
• Support you in developing expertise and practical experience in a chosen educational pathway, enhancing your employability and career prospects in an international setting.

The course helps you to develop your knowledge and practice by applying your learning to real-life situations within your own educational setting - whether that is a school, college or university. The MA is a powerful vehicle for institutional improvement, as well as personal and professional development.
