About the course
Our MA Education allows you to gain credits from a range of modules which result in the award of either an MA Education or an MA Education: Specialist Pathway.
If you're a practitioner in education and you'd like to improve your professional expertise, this course has been developed for you. The modules have been approved and supported by the Teacher Development Agency (TDA 2008-11) so you can be sure that what you learn is up to date and relevant.
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.
You'll qualify with either a straight MA Education (delivered on campus, online and by negotiation from a workplace group), or, if you'd like to focus on a particular area of interest to you, you can study an MA Education in a named specialist pathway. The pathways available are outlined in the table below. The Specialist Pathways are only available through on campus delivery.
