The well-established MA Education (Innovation in Learning and Teaching) has been running since 1995 and is regularly updated in order to reflect the changing needs of participants.
This postgraduate course in Education is designed for a range of professional backgrounds including teachers, lecturers and managers in the further education sector; speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, midwives and members of the armed forces and police service.
Learners will study four (or five) taught modules, two of which must be chosen from a specified list for this programme, followed by dissertation module. Students will also, in common with all of the MA Education programmes, study the core module Research Methodology and undertake either a short or a long Dissertation. Full time students can ask to be given an internship during the final semester so that they can learn from observing good practice in a relevant education setting.
A Masters degree is required for professional advancement in numerous occupations, and is widely seen as evidence of a successful commitment to high level professional development. The broad award of MA Education indicates that graduates have acquired skills and knowledge across a range of different areas. Graduates can also progress to a PhD or research degree.
