Course summary

Our well-established part-time MA Education course is about extending your understanding of teaching theory and practice. The course is designed for those who are teaching or are spending a significant part of each week supporting teaching and learning. It aims to have a direct impact on your teaching approaches and help you to become a more rounded, reflective practitioner. The course focuses on the key educational processes that underpin learning, teaching and the positive management of change. You will develop your understanding of current policy, theory and research and consider how these relate to your day-to-day practice. You will enhance your ability to analyse, critique and develop your own and others' practice while building upon your intellectual, organisational and professional skills. Research skills are incorporated into all modules. Tailored to your professional commitments, the study mode is only evenings where for part-time students is once per week and for full-time students is twice per week.
