Course Summary

Deepen your understanding of teaching and learning on our flexible and highly regarded MA Education, developed and delivered by leaders in the field of education.

We are one of the leading providers of teacher training in the UK, and are ranked 12th in the UK for Education in the Guardian University Guide, 2020.

Underpinned by up-to-date research evidence, this course examines the broader philosophical, sociological and psychological aspects and issues related to teaching and learning.

Offered on a full-time and part-time basis, this course is designed to meet the needs of busy professionals and to reflect your own interests. You can opt to study different modules related to various aspects of education to deepen your knowledge and equip you to develop your career in the way that works best for you.

Our teaching is interactive, experiential and innovative. We utilise a wide variety of technologies to enhance your learning, including use of presentation tools, interactive whiteboards, mixed media, social media and mobile technologies in our teaching, and screen capture in assessment.

Locally, we have well-established partnerships with over 350 schools, with which we work very closely.

Your tutors are internationally or nationally renowned, and their research regularly has a direct impact on school curricula and learning techniques - both in the UK and abroad. As experts in their field, their research also directly informs the focus and content of your course, and you will benefit from the breadth of their expertise and backgrounds in educating and influencing policy.

WHAT CAREER CAN YOU HAVE?

Our master’s and professional programmes have allowed many teachers to gain promotion within their institutions.

A number of students also continue their studies on to EdD/PhD programmes to pursue a career in educational research.

Modules

The concept of the expert or excellent teacher is now a global concern and this module will critically examine this issue and the various models emerging across the world. In considering what constitutes an expert and how the stages of development might be characterised, we will review, amongst others, the Dreyfus brothers' model of expertise and Ericcson's notion of deliberate practice.
