All assessment is carried out through coursework. In most cases this takes the form of either one essay of around 4,000 words, or two shorter assessments, building on each other and provide feed-forward opportunities?for the final assessment.

The Research Methods in Education module requires the students to submit a research proposal of around 4,000 words. This research plan will form the starting point for the dissertation module the following semester.

To complete this master’s degree, you will be required to carry out a small-scale research project focusing on an area of interest and relevance to you or your professional context. This research project will be written in the form of an academic dissertation. The first part of the dissertation module will comprise taught sessions to support the research and writing process of the various sections of the dissertation. Later in the semester, students will move to having individual or small group supervision meetings with a dissertation supervisor as they make their way through the research and writing process.

The course benefits you whatever your interest in education, be it as a parent, teacher, researcher, community worker or education administrator.

Our recent graduates have gone on to find careers in the education sector as deputy head teachers, special needs teachers and behaviour management coordinators.
