The programme is ideal for anyone working in a school or education-related capacity, specifically aimed at those involved in education in a wide range of occupations: teachers, leaders and managers in schools, lecturers in HE and FE institutions, voluntary and third sector officers, local authority and regional consortia staff, training organisations and so on.

The programme will equip education professionals with the skills and knowledge to interrogate research, critique theory, and conduct robust research which will impact policy and practice in their area of professional activity.

The programme provides a blended route, comprising a mix of face-to-face and distance learning, and is split into two related parts: Part 1, which develops students’ written, research and critical analysis skills; and Part 2, completion of a 60,000 word thesis on a chosen area of interest.

Attendance at all face-to-face sessions is mandatory, regardless of the pathway chosen. (Please note that there are considerably more face-to-face sessions on the full-time pathway). Whether studying full-time or part-time, you will be supported throughout your studies by a highly respected and experienced team of practitioners and academic staff.
