Education MA

Our Education MA program is designed to deepen your understanding of educational issues, policy, and practice whilst empowering you with the skills and confidence to lead evidence-based change in your own context.  We encourage you to think critically and draw from your own experience to explore a range of themes, such as international perspectives, learning cultures and spaces, digital innovations, leadership, and health and wellbeing. You will discover the potential of education to enact positive change in both individuals and societies.

You can choose to study part-time or full-time for your MA Education on our Waterside Campus or 100% online from anywhere in the world. The online option is designed for UK-based or international education professionals looking for the flexibility to fit the timing of their studies around life and work commitments.

However, if committing to a full Master’s course doesn’t suit your busy schedule right now, there are options to study standalone modules and build towards an MA at slower pace, or even fast-track pathways for applicants with a PGCE, mentor training or NPQs.
