Course summary

This MEd Specialist option draws on a wide range of academic disciplines such as philosophy, psychology and sociology to further our understanding of learning and educational contexts. Drawing on up-to-date research, the programme focuses on how we learn, from early childhood through compulsory schooling and into adulthood, and offers a rigorous analysis of broader educational systems such as curricula, policies and schools in their societal context.

Students are encouraged to consider fundamental questions about the nature and aims of education; to engage with the problematic nature of educational theory, policy and practice; and to develop and express their own reasoned viewpoint on a wide range of issues.

The course will enable you to:

  • develop a critical understanding of how education systems can be developed to ensure that all learners achieve to their full potential
  • encourage reflection on existing policy and practice
  • question concepts and theories and interrogate assumptions underpinning theory and research
  • critically consider how recent international research relates to students’ own educational contexts.
