The overall aim of this MA Education programme is to produce educators capable of operating at the highest levels within the educational arena, with the ability to integrate theory with practice and apply intellectual and academic rigour, informed by current educational research, to their professional context, or future education roles.

The linked programmes have been developed after extensive consultation with employers, teachers, education professionals and students.

Flexible study options are available, including online, on-campus and blended learning, across day, twilight and evening sessions, so you can consider the mode and time of delivery. All linked programmes offer a range of core and optional modules, so you can tailor the content, when making your curriculum choices.

Our teaching and support team consists of experienced education professionals and researchers who can guide you through your learning whilst also making you aware of career avenues, developing networks and opportunities for further study and research.

Assessment

There are no examinations on any of our programmes of study. Assessment tasks are planned to help students demonstrate how they have met learning outcomes. Students may be assessed by methods including presentations, reports, traditional essays, group work, and work-based portfolios. Where appropriate students will have the opportunity to apply their assessment task to their professional practice context.

Every module includes a session on assessment preparation. Feedback may be written or oral in the form of a recording made by the module leader. You will be given an explanation of how successfully you have achieved your assessment outcomes, and information on how your mark could have been improved – thereby preparing you for future assessments.
