Course Summary

Applied Educational Leadership MA

The Applied Educational Leadership MA is designed for middle or established leaders and managers in schools, colleges, or other educational institutions. It will enable students to develop themselves and their educational systems, and to reflect on the quality of the learning and teaching they manage. As an applied programme, this MA will improve a student's understanding of educational leadership theory, enable them to apply it to their own working environment, and to undertake research in their settings. It will foster students' continuing professional development, allowing them to consider issues related to the policy context of education. It will also give them the chance to think through, apply and evaluate strategies for leading change.

Careers

Some are working as senior and middle leaders in education institutions worldwide, while others have jobs as government ministers and advisers.
