MA in EducationCourse ModulesWhat our Graduates doEntry RequirementsFinance
This Masters course is designed to improve existing educators from a variety of educational levels to prepare for middle management and the NPQH programmes by producing work consistently at Masters level relating to a series of modules that they can study.
The aim is to give a more in depth look at the world of education and some of the forces that act upon it whilst enabling educators to critically review their own practice in a range of teaching related disciplines before embarking on a piece of major research to improve either their own or their learners’ education.
The aims of the course are to:
- Widen participation of Masters level education in this field within North Essex, to enhance the continued professional development offered to teachers and prepare middle leaders in education for progression to doctoral level study or the National Progression
- Qualification for Headship (which requires evidence of recent masters levels study for one of the admission criteria) and to update skills of existing teachers and educators to enrich the classroom experience for their learners.
Typical MA Education module titles would include:
- Research Methodology
- Leading in an Educational Organisation
- Mentoring and coaching to improve educational experiences
- Differentiation and Inclusion within a classroom setting
- Delivery of a stem subject
- The Major Project (18,000 words)
- Research Project
Typical progression routes after the course could include middle management of a school, senior administrator within the Education Sector as well as PhD or EdD level study. (This course is being developed in consultation with the Association of Secondary Head Teachers, Essex).
