The MA Education offers practicing and aspiring educators opportunities to learn, apply, and produce critical knowledge in the interdisciplinary field of Education, and to use this to inform and transform future educational practice, theory, policy, and institutions. The programme provides a coherent and flexible postgraduate degree that furthers existing critical understanding of practice and allows aspiring educators to deepen their knowledge of education. On completion, students will have gained both a broader and deeper understanding of the academic study of education and its relevance to their own experience. Furthermore, they will have gained the knowledge, skills and confidence to undertake further critical, reflexive, and sensitive research in the field of education and more broadly in the social sciences. The programme is designed around three core modules and two optional modules. The core modules aim to support students in identifying their specific research questions through a critical review of the literature; develop the requisite knowledge, understanding, and practical skills in appropriate research methods, and produce a compelling piece of advanced research. Optional modules allow students to deepen their existing subject knowledge, and/or broaden their understanding of the study of education.
In this module, students can develop their skills of identifying, searching, critically evaluating and synthesising academic literature, as well as the skills needed to understand and apply this knowledge to developing their own research. The module focuses on critically evaluating research literature in various areas of educational studies and around students' area of research in particular. The module is intended to help students focus on their study and situate it within the wider field of educational research.
