Overview

Course Details

Throughout the Education MA course at University of Northampton you will be encouraged to engage with other students and professional colleagues in order to develop critical approaches to your study of education and your practical teaching.

The MA comprises of modules that can be studied one by one. A key element of many modules is the provision for ‘shared enquiry’, enabling you to engage with other professional colleagues and researchers in developing critical approaches to enquiry within practical education (and education-related) contexts.

There are two versions of the Education MA, both of which can be full-time or part-time. These are a fully online version and a standard version. There are four compulsory modules and a thesis on each of these pathways:

Online:

EDUM074 International perspectives on education
EDUM124 Developing and supporting others
EDUM145 Reflecting on professional practice through autoethnography
EDUM116 School and classroom cultures
EDUM100 Research methods and thesis

Standard:

EDUM074 International perspectives on education
EDUM124 Developing and supporting others
EDUM116 School and classroom cultures
EDUM123: Approaches to leadership and management
