Course summary

Working with children and young people requires a great deal of knowledge and expertise from those in the sector. Our exciting MA in Education aims to support you to develop an in-depth understanding of a wide range of topics related to education. You can choose to complete the general MA in Education or to undertake a distinct pathway which will enable you to become a specialist in one of the following areas:

  • Creative Practices
  • Early Childhood
  • Teaching & Learning
  • Mathematics Education
Our MA in Education is designed to meet the interests of a wide range of participants from schools, nurseries, universities, colleges and local authorities, as well as professionals working with children and young people outside of education – for example in children's services and health and social care. The common factor for all potential participants is the desire to develop their expertise in the field of education and to make a real difference in the lives of the children and young people with whom they work. The blend of students from different professional backgrounds enables discussion, debate and the sharing of experiences in a supportive and welcoming environment, facilitated by staff who are experts in the field of education. The degree has been developed drawing on the latest policy, research and practice in education, to offer a course that will equip students with skills in critical evaluation and practitioner research to be effective teachers and practitioners and to make informed contributions to development in policy and practice in schools and educational settings.
