September and February starts
Our online Higher and Professional Education MA is open to applicants who are working with students aged 18 years or older, within a higher or tertiary education setting (or other organisations that teach at a higher or tertiary education level).
This online, part-time MA has a strong disciplinary focus and has been built with practising university teachers in mind, including those working in mainstream academic departments, faculty development centres and support services, such as libraries and study skill centres.
Our online course has been designed with the aim of providing a positive learning experience that addresses the needs of those who have experienced working in higher education, but who wish to develop further as a teacher.
The MA encourages you to construct your own developmental pathway through a choice of optional modules, allowing you to graduate as a more confident university teacher, with the skills and knowledge to both critique and shape professional practice.
It is essential for applicants to be academic staff (tutors and lecturers) or academic-related staff working at a higher education institute as they will need access to students and teaching peers in order to undertake some of the activities within the modules, such as teaching observations and classroom-based action research projects.
For direct entry these range from a 2:1 to a 2:2 UK honours degree. Our Pre-Masters programme offers another route into Surrey for specific programmes.

We’re committed to making sure that we offer support for students who might need it, please visit website to find out more about about our scholarships and bursaries.
Completion of the MA offers you both a qualification relevant to learning and teaching in higher education, but also provides significant evidence for professional development, such as applications for senior fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
