Course summary

Course overview Assessing and understanding community needs to provide modes of delivery and educational content that improves levels of attainment and life chances, is the structural and thematic rationale of our course. This perspective is developed in two related areas: nationally, motivated by the increasing independence of schools; and internationally, particularly in developing countries, motivated by globalisation. Why study this course with us? This course will be delivered through blended learning, with each module designed and delivered by educational specialists. While this allows necessary variation between modules, in terms of specific assessment tasks and forms of knowledge, each blended learning module will have the following common characteristics:

  • A clear outline of the module content, form of delivery, and online content, including key research papers and assessment task
  • A guide to accessing module content
  • A variety of modes of content delivery, including digital materials, such as online seminars and video clips of documentaries
  • Routine online support from the module tutor.

Applicants will normally be employed in the education sector or involved in work that may be considered broadly educational. It is possible for applicants who are not in work to undertake the course. International: Students from countries outside the UK are expected to have entry qualifications roughly equivalent to UK A Level for undergraduate study and British Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) for postgraduate study.
