Education

MA Education

This course has been designed to provide a range of flexible development opportunities for professionals working in education (all sectors), training and all their related fields.

The course has an attractive modular framework that is contemporary in design and encompasses three main themes: management, curriculum and inclusion, each theme having specific modules that can be delivered and studied flexibly and in context with your own professional development needs.

You can elect to study for a named award within a theme or for the generic award by studying modules across the themes. You will be challenged to undertake in-depth study to extend and deepen your understanding and to reflect critically upon this and how it could impact on practice.
