Study Details: MA 12 months
In this rapidly changing world, a postgraduate course can serve different needs and give you that extra edge that today’s employers are looking for, or secure that much-needed promotion. Whatever your academic or professional goals, the School of Education and Human Development’s long tradition of academic excellence will help you get there.
Our full-time Education Studies MA is a 12-month taught programme that caters for the needs of those who wish to gain an MA degree through intensive full-time study. Students have a choice of modules that total 180 credits. The course has been designed to appeal to both home and international students.
Core Modules:
Research methods
Dissertation
A number of optional modules are also available.
Progression
It is possible for suitable MA students to move up to the Doctorate in Education Studies (EdD) programme after completing the four taught modules (120 credits) of the MA in Education Studies and demonstrating a high level of study at merit or above. Such students would not have to do an MA dissertation and would also need to complete an additional module and a ’Thesis Proposal’.
Transfer of credit into the EdD is evaluated case by case, by the EdD Course Director, as the EdD is a research degree.
After completing all modules, candidates for the EdD programme may be able to apply for studentships (please see the EdD programme for more information).
