The programme provides a clear framework for study, designed to suit both professional practitioners and those interested in the scholarship of Education. Classes are either on campus supported through our Digital Learning Environment. All students take the core modules: Researching Education Practice in Context module (30 credits) and a dissertation (60 credits).

Our specialist and optional modules are designed to allow you the opportunity to pursue your own areas of interest, supported by knowledgeable and research-active academics. All of our general MA Education modules run every year, but subject-specialist modules may be subject to demand and availability. Practice-related inquiry modules are a special feature of the programme where you negotiate a topic of study, supervised by one of the teaching team.
