Our Higher and Professional Education MA is open to applicants who are working with students aged 18 years or older, within a higher or tertiary education setting (or other organisations that teach at a higher or tertiary education level).
This online, part-time MA has a strong disciplinary focus and has been built with practising university teachers in mind, including those working in mainstream academic departments, faculty development centres and support services, such as libraries and study skill centres.
Our online course has been designed with the aim of providing a positive learning experience that addresses the needs of those who have experienced working in higher and professional education, but who wish to develop further as a teacher.
The MA encourages you to construct your own developmental pathway through a choice of optional modules, allowing you to graduate as a more confident university teacher, with the skills and knowledge to both critique and shape professional practice.
The MA is taught by members of staff from the Surrey Institute of Education. The Institute is one of the largest institutions in the UK dedicated to multidisciplinary research and practice solely within higher and professional education. Our aim is to produce the next generation of practitioners and researchers, ready to address the complex problems in tertiary education, and help shape policy and practice at local, national and international levels.
You’ll benefit from our vibrant research culture and you’ll work alongside leading academics who are at the forefront of their respective fields, giving you access to expertise in a range of areas of higher and professional education.
It is essential for applicants to be academic staff (tutors and lecturers) or academic-related staff working at a higher education institute as they will need access to students and teaching peers in order to undertake some of the activities within the modules, such as teaching observations and classroom-based action research projects.
