Further Study
Professional development for teachers and other education professionals
Studying while you work can be a challenge. Our flexible postgraduate course framework has been designed so that you can learn by drawing on your current work while extending your skills into new areas at the same time.
Course content draws on the latest research in education and considers how it can be adapted to work for you and your students. Our aim is to inspire and support teachers and educators in all settings.
MA in Education
Our Education MA degree has been developed based on consultation with local practitioners and senior leaders to support professional development and expertise. Alumni are supported through a 10% discount on fees and those with Masters (level 7) credits can use these to contribute towards the award.
The course builds on existing structures to further integrate academic study with work-based learning and research. The programme can be tailored to your interests and professional development needs as a recently qualified teacher looking to return to study.
The revised structure ensures a coherent and supportive student experience throughout the programme which comprises of core modules that can be applied in a variety of different areas. Our flexible programme reflects the expectation that practitioners work in wider networks with colleagues and alongside expert facilitators, including the university teaching team.
You will graduate with an in-depth and critical understanding of theory and research. Modules are designed to complement and extend your professional commitments, and teaching and assignment submissions are scheduled to fit around your existing work.
