Education Practice and Innovation (MSc)

About this course

The MSc in Education Practice and Innovation examines professional development, inclusivity in education with a focus on contemporary teaching and learning models for innovation. It's for teachers who want to drive change and make a difference in an inclusive way.

On this master's in educational practice, you'll learn how to respond to the teaching needs of different types of learners, to give all students an equal chance to achieve their full potential. This is a research-focused course, so you’ll be expected to assess the impact of research in education and social sciences and how it affects educational strategies and policies. You’ll learn to refine your practice based on the critical skills you’ll develop, using evidence from research to analyse different teaching and learning methods. During the course, you’ll learn about:

• policies, educational practice and innovation within workplace learning
• different forms of innovation in learning and teaching
• barriers to and enablers of change in educational innovation
• major processes of training and development
• the evaluation process and its relationship to training and development

There’s a strong interest in inclusivity in education at the university so you’ll not only have access to expert teaching staff but research groups like the Centre for Research in Inclusion. If you’d prefer a more general approach, or you’d like to focus on a different specialism, you can choose from our other pathways.
