Explore our Professional Education taught Master's degree.

This is an MA Education for ambitious teachers mentors and leaders working in professional contexts within Primary Secondary and Further Education. We encourage you to be curious about what works in education and why to be creative in your approach to researching as a practitioner and to have high expectations about the impact your research might have in your classroom and more widely.

Course overview

Upon enrolment the first half of the academic credit recognised towards our Master's in Professional Education will either be drawn from a recent UK PGCE with teaching practice or from our Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Education Programme. All Masters pathways then share the same ‘taught’ MA course structure although this is tailored towards your research interests and objectives.

The step-by-step module process takes teachers through designing a research study applying for ethical approval and conducting the study over an appropriate time-period. The final assessment is a dissertation which communicates the findings of the substantial research project in an appropriate academic form; preparing teachers to share the research more widely with other practitioner researchers colleagues and the wider profession.

Assessment

Research in Professional Practice

Assessment by:

§

A short evaluation of a research paper relevant to an area of education that interests you.

§

A research proposal for a research study you plan to conduct in school

Your career

Our students will already be working in the education sector. The MA is designed to enable you to tailor your research interests to your professional aspirations which may be concerned with classroom teaching pastoral or leadership roles. Our students gain promotion in school-based contexts pursue further research at PhD level moving into Higher Education teaching and research or find that their research opens doors into associated careers in fields such as social work and youth services.
