The MA Education degree is taught via seminars, workshops, support sessions, collaborative group work and discussion, tutorials, presentations, and directed private study.

The ability to specialise the course content provides opportunities in particular fields of education, such as becoming an expert in teaching and learning, or leadership and management. Depending on which route you choose, you’ll study modules that will allow you to critically examine these areas and identify skills that will enhance your ability to transfer learning to further study and to the workplace.
The knowledge and skills you’ll gain studying for a master’s in education will also be transferable to many other sectors, particularly education policy and government. If you’re already working in a relevant field, you’ll graduate with enhanced potential for progression professionally.
