The MA Education award aspires to prepare graduates for successful careers in the field of education. This programme equips graduates with the skills to critique, influence and improve policy and practice in a range of educational contexts and can therefore transform careers. Graduates from this programme often secure promotions with their current employer or venture into new fields such as research, advisory or policy-making roles. Some students gain positions in new education contexts, such as higher education and progress on to doctoral study.
