For admission to the programme we would normally expect that you EITHER hold a 2:1 Honours degree (or equivalent) combined with extensive post-graduation professional experience in an educational setting OR hold a 2:1 in a directly relevant subject area such as education, management sciences or one or more of the social sciences. While we normally only accept applicants who meet this criteria, if you have a high 2:2 or equivalent with more than three years relevant work experience, we would welcome your application. Applicants are expected to have either previous experience of leadership and/or management roles within educational and related institutions and agencies or to have studied management, and/or leadership in previous undergraduate or postgraduate study. We welcome applications from students who hold qualifications and degrees that are not in education. These may include degrees and qualifications undertaken in the social sciences, natural sciences, humanities, arts or business studies. Please note that this list is not exhaustive and every application will be considered on a case-by-case basis. We would encourage applicants to use their personal statement to indicate their interests in education and any relevant work experience. Some modules require Disclosure and Barring Service checks.
