Why choose this course?
* You'll share your experience with other professionals from a wide range of backgrounds, which will help to broaden your professional development in education and your understanding of prominent issues.
* You can tailor the course to your own interests. The practical research elements will be based on your own professional practice so it's relevant to your individual career progression.
* This course can enhance your progress in your educational career. Many of our graduates have found that the course was the catalyst that encouraged them to apply for new posts.
* We can provide the opportunity for you to study as a professional group at your workplace if at least 12 of you wish to study. Please note, this will need to be in negotiation with your educational establishment.
This course has also been designed with a flexible approach in order to meet your individual and workplace needs. We'll encourage and support you to complete to Masters Level, but you can choose to exit the course and be awarded a University Certificate of Achievement, Postgraduate Certificate or a Postgraduate Diploma depending on how many credits you achieve.
We also provide you with a range of modules to choose from to allow you to create a personally meaningful course suited to your developmental interests. To enhance the flexibility of the course, most modules are delivered on campus; however, some are delivered by e-learning or in educational locations to support your individual needs.
The course will give you stimulating ideas to take back into your workplace, food for thought about your practice, and opportunities to enhance your own students' learning.
