MA Education

The MA(Ed) programme supports the development of a high status, world leading teaching profession by focusing on advanced subject knowledge and understanding of how to best utilise evidence-based practice in order to unlock the potential of all learners.

Teaching

Two years (four semesters) at the rate of one module per semester, plus a further year (two semesters) for the dissertation (parts 1 and 2). We appreciate that circumstances can change, and part-time students are helped by having flexible study arrangements. To that end, we permit you to intermit from the programme for a maximum of 2 years over the whole programme, if you return and complete the degree within 6 years.

Assessment

The MA (Education) programme draws on a range of assessment methods including video diaries; practitioner research projects; 6,000-word essays; and presentations.

To gain a MA (Education), you will need to complete four modules and the dissertation parts 1 & 2 (4 x 30) + 60 = 180 credits.

Where this can take you

Former MA(Ed) students have progressed to PhD programmes. Three students graduating from the MA(Ed) programme in the academic year 2017/2018 are planning to commence PhD studies within the Social Studies and the Psychology departments at the University of Chichester.
