On our MA Education, our priority is to provide a higlighy flexible programme of study aimed at students and professonals seeking to deepen their knowledge of education and its role in society. This incorporates:

  • Drawing on the wider professional experiences that students may have, of working in contexts where educational approaches are important.
  • Covering critical social and educational theories and perspectives, as well as policy and practices relevant to global and local educational contexts.
  • Achieving critical awareness and understanding of education in its broadest sense as a process of human learning and development.

How you'll learn

You will benefit greatly from engaging with the insights, experiences and perspectives of your peers who may come from a diverse range of contexts, backgrounds and experiences. These insights combined with your own experiences and the theory gained from the modules will allow you to deepen your understanding of working with children and young people and of education in its broadest sense.

Lecturers leading modules on this programme have specialist qualifications, teaching or leadership experience in the field of education, with relevant research and scholarly backgrounds, which will help shape the content of the programme.

Graduates of MA Education will be prepared to:

  • Develop their career in working with children and young people. Depending on professional qualifications already achieved, this might include advisory work, teaching, early childhood practice, learning support, careers in youth engagement and participation, working for community, non-governmental organisations and the third sector to enhance and enrich educational provision for children, families and communities both in the UK and internationally.
  • Move into or develop careers in policy-making, implementation and development of children and young peoples’ services / education, education information management or administration and contract research both in the UK and internationally.
