This full-time course is perfect for you if you are seeking to understand education within its broader contexts, and is equally suitable for home and overseas students. With a choice of core modules to suit your past experience it is ideal preparation for entering work in the education sphere as it pairs foundation theories with a more in-depth study of education arguments and disputes. We encourage you to link theoretical and practical understanding of issues in education, while developing knowledge, skills and understanding of the questions involved in conceptualising and designing educational research.

You will receive a grounding in research methods and a core module based on your prior knowledge of the UK education system. You will also select two optional modules from our portfolio to suit your own interests. You’ll then complete a dissertation under the supervision of a member of academic staff.
