Course summary

The MA Education (Assessment) route investigates theories, practice, policies and use of assessment in all phases of education. Our modules offer opportunities to explore assessment from a range of perspectives by applying theory related to policy research, sociology, philosophy, psychology and more. Students who take this MA learn with world-leading experts in the field of assessment and leave with key research skills that they are able to use in a range of educational workplaces or take on to further study at doctoral level. Modular (flexible) students - Some postgraduate taught and MRes programmes are available on a modular basis. Modular study lasts between 2 and 5 years. This is different to a part-time study which lasts for a fixed period.


Entry requirements

Normally applicants are expected to have a second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, and a clearly expressed interest in educational assessment, gained largely through experience. Teaching, assessment development and implementation, and/or policy experience is welcomed, but not a requirement. English level: Level 2
