The BA Education, Leadership and Culture considers education in a range of formal and non-formal contexts and cultural settings. You will learn about the opportunities education has to offer in addressing some of the key social and cultural challenges of 21st century.This involves exploring educational research and practice across different areas, including schools and universities; urban spaces; digital and social media; creative industries; art and heritage; the world of work; multicultural communities; and more.By looking at educational leadership cultures and styles that enhance social responsibility and justice, you will gain knowledge and develop skills in innovative leadership practices.Building on world-leading expertise at the Manchester Institute of Education, it helps you develop as culturally responsive and ethical leaders who collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders to tackle ‘real-world’ challenges. Delve into ‘culture’ as a key concept and explore authentic and creative forms of learning, development, and problem solving that meet the complexities of 21st century life.The course draws from shared experience and professional advice of both academic and non-academics working in educational and/or cultural institutions and communities across Manchester. A key feature of the course is that you can put our theory into your practice and gain invaluable hands-on experience through placement in the second and third year. This is facilitated by project-based and collaborative learning with Manchester based public and third-sector partners such as; museums and heritage institutions, civic organisations, community groups and charities, schools, colleges and universities, and other stakeholders with a cultural and educational mission.
The programme will support you to:- Gain key insights and build experience in education and educational leadership in a wide variety of cultural contexts - Develop your own educational leadership practice, working towards equitable and sustainable social change - Engage with progressive theoretical debates and be enabled to apply your knowledge collaboratively in both formal and non-formal educational contexts - Obtain knowledge on inclusivity, sustainable leadership, and the purposeful curatorship of knowledge/information in increasingly diverse, complex, and often conflictual socio-cultural spaces - Benefit from practical experience in collaborative work and cultural co-production for the purposes of civic and democratic inquiry and practical problem solving in local, national, and global contexts.
