On the course, you’ll attend monthly twilight sessions over two years. You’ll learn from supportive teacher-researchers and benefit from the expertise in our Centre for Teaching and Learning Research:

  • Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)
  • social justice and gender in education settings
  • policy and practice addressing inclusion, diversity and the awarding gap of pupils facing deprivation.

  • can be applied in the classroom to develop your practice
  • build your professional confidence
  • boost your promotion prospects.
In the spirit of flexibility, you’ll have the opportunity to tailor your learning and research to what interests you most.
