Our expert staff bring a wealth of academic and sector experience, ensuring that your learning is grounded in both research and contemporary practice. You will benefit from a flexible, personalised approach, with opportunities to gain accreditation for prior learning, including National Professional Qualifications (NPQs). Whether you are looking to progress within your current role or transition into new opportunities, this MA will equip you with the knowledge and skills to advance your career.
In addition to your Master's degree, you will also achieve a prestigious Chartered Management Institute (CMI) award in Strategic Leadership. This dual accreditation highlights your expertise and enhances your professional standing, giving you a competitive edge in the field.
Part-time students can select from a range of modules in order to personalise the course based on their prior experience and career aspirations. If you are not sure that a full MA is for you, then why not start with our Postgraduate Certificate, which is achieved by completing three modules. After this, you can progress onto the Postgraduate Diploma and then the MA.
Applicants will normally work in an educational environment, e.g. school, college, academy, local authority, free school or other educational setting.
The minimum entry requirement is usually a 2:2 honours degree plus relevant experience. Candidates without these qualifications will be invited to attend an interview to ensure their suitability for the course.
