Course Info

This course is for those who are already Leaders and Managers in an educational context or for those who aspire to take on a leadership role. The course lasts 18 months and covers a wide range of leadership topics, delivered through study days, online lectures, extensive course materials and independent study. Students will engage with the latest research on Educational Leadership and Management and will be able to connect to like-minded peers in the UK and across the world via online delivery.

What is the point of doing a Master’s in Educational Leadership and Management when I have a PGCE or am an experienced teacher?

Professionals do not stop learning at any stage in their working lives. Doctors and lawyers, for example, have to have regular refresher courses. In the same way teachers are primarily trained to teach and so moving onto Middle and Senior Leadership positions brings a whole new set of responsibilities and challenges to navigate. This programme will enable you to take on those challenges with confidence.
Not only will you learn about recent research in education, but you will also learn how to critically reflect on your own leadership.
Having taken the trouble to gain this qualification will show your employer and future employers that you are a serious, professional employee. The course will equip you with the ability to talk about particular areas of leadership with acquired knowledge and experience.
You will find the course intellectually stimulating as a whole new area of study will be opened up to you.
