Course content

The MA Education Studies offers a choice of routes for practising professionals and managers in educational settings.

This course provides the opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of the current landscape in education and engage with wider theories and issues. Students will develop critical thinking and hone higher level skills.

Students can choose to undertake either a Postgraduate Certificate (PgC), a Postgraduate Diploma (PgD) or a full MA in Education Studies.
