Overview

This course is designed to enable you to progress from a professional postgraduate programme, for example where you gained Level 7 credits during your PGCE teacher training course. Your PGCE provides the foundation to progress to explore modules in critical and contemporary issues in education, and in research methods. You will learn to analyse complex educational issues, essential for any developing education professional, and root this learning in your own practice and context. You will also enhance your skills as an educational researcher, essential to enhance your career development and hone your abilities as a reflective and critical practitioner. Finally, you’ll complete an independent research project, supported by faculty staff and resources gaining hands-on experience and a strong foundation for your educational career. You might choose to explore an issue in your own classroom, school or setting, or something pivotal to your school development plan. Or you might research an area of personal passion and interest in education, or an aspect of pedagogy or andragogy that will help you (and others) to enhance key aspects of practice. We offer modules in both the daytime and evenings, so you can find a pattern of delivery that fits with your other commitments, whether you are working or volunteering. If you have recently completed your Early Career Teacher phase, you can ask us to recognise this learning in lieu of a further 30 Masters level credits, meaning that with your PGCE (60 credits) you can enter our Masters in Professional Practice in Education half way through. You will then complete the research methods module (30 credits) and an extended research project (or dissertation) (60 credits). Whatever route you take into this degree you will pay fees for the modules that you undertake, so a proportion of the overall total MA fee advertised.

Postgraduate Taught

Academic

The majority of our taught Masters programmes require that you hold a qualification equivalent to a lower second-class Bachelor Honours (or 2.2). We generally consider a Bachelors degree awarded by a nationally recognised higher education institution in the USA to be comparable to a UK Bachelor Honours degree. Lower second-class (2.2) equivalent GPA 2.8 out of 4 Upper second-class (2.1) equivalent GPA 3.2 out of 4
