Course Description

If you are looking to study education at a master’s level, then this flexible, part-time course is designed to fit with your own work priorities and commitments. This degree can last up to 4 years.

This course focuses on education as a conscientious enterprise at all levels from the local to the global. A key feature of this course is its strong emphasis on global citizenship and its connection to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) in Education.

Whether you are a teacher, lecturer, trainer, educational leader, manager or administrator – or aspiring to a career in education – you will develop the contemporary skills and abilities needed to succeed. This course will empower you to proactively initiate change, challenge existing processes, and contribute to the ongoing improvement of educational practices.
