Course programme

Course detail Description

The course takes a keenly critical perspective towards the management of educational institutions understood in terms of their cultural, political and social contexts. Engaging with fundamental issues, from the very aims of education to the management of human resources, the course is designed to equip participants with the understanding and decision-making capabilities required to deal with the demands placed on educational institutions today. Module options provide the opportunity to engage with a range of related themes: from educational leadership to teacher development, from best practice in the techniques of business management to the latest research into school effectiveness and improvement.

Course format and assessment

Teaching

For each 30-credit module you will have 20 hours of lectures and seminars, and we will expect you to undertake 280 hours of independent study. There are 10.5 hours of academic study skills workshops and for your dissertation you will receive nine hours of one-to-one supervision and 24 hours of research methods lectures. You will also undertake 567 hours of independent study for the dissertation module.

Assessment

The 30-credit taught modules are normally assessed by a 6,000 word assignment, but assessment methods do vary and will depend on the optional modules selected. The 60-credit dissertation is assessed by an extended piece of writing of 16,000 words.

The study time and assessment methods detailed above are typical and give you a good indication of what to expect.

If you are a part-time student you will normally complete two taught modules in the first year (one in the autumn and one in the spring), and the remaining modules and the dissertation in the second year.

King’s College London reviews the modules offered on a regular basis in order to provide up-to-date, innovative and relevant programmes of study. The optional modules offered may therefore change. We suggest you keep an eye on this course page for updates.
