Location of University of Oxford
The increasing significance of university rankings and the growing range of international student exchange schemes, as well as public discussion of tuition fees and the 'vocationalization' of degree programmes, are just some of the current issues within higher education in many countries.
The Masters provides students with the possibility to engage not only with the issues outlined, but also with a wide range of stimulating topics surrounding universities and colleges.
It is aimed at future leaders in the field - academics, managers, policy-makers and researchers. The course provides a strong foundation for:
* teaching and learning in a wide variety of higher educational contexts
* developing higher education curricula and learning programmes to meet a range of local and international needs
* using research to analyse and evaluate current structures and future reforms of higher education in different international contexts
* conducting doctoral, post-doctoral and professional research
The Department of Educational Studies offers a challenging but supportive atmosphere for conducting graduate studies. The course is run by the Department of Educational Studies in collaboration with the Learning Institute.
Contents
This one-year, full-time course consists of three papers and a dissertation. The three papers are on Theoretical, Historical and International Perspectives on Higher Education; Management, Teaching, Learning and Professional Development in Higher Education; and Strategies for Educational Research. The three papers are assessed just after Easter after which students continue with work on their research-based dissertation which is submitted in September.
Course sessions consist of a combination of seminars, lectures and collaborative course projects. These sessions take place three mornings a week.
In addition:
* you will have the opportunity to work together with your course colleagues on selected higher education topics and problems
* you will reflect on your own higher education experience, and on the University of Oxford as your new educational context
* you will be able to select the focus for your MSc dissertation from a range of relevant international higher education contexts
* you will meet with your supervisor on a regular basis to discuss your progress and the design of your own research study
* you will work collaboratively on a course project which is related to your dissertation project, supported by a topic expert from the Department of Educational Studies or other relevant institutions in Oxford
* you will spend extended time in your chosen research setting during the third term in order to carry out fieldwork for your dissertation
* you will be assessed through a combination of examinations, dissertation and course-work.
