Key Facts

A key theme embedded in this master’s degree is social justice. This course is aligned with our Education for Social Justice (ESJ) framework to ensure equity in our curriculum practice.

The modules have been developed to broaden the knowledge and meaning of the term ‘education’, as well as its purpose from being a ‘product’ to understanding how the curriculum is managed and led. Education is a creative and powerful endeavour in which curriculum and pedagogy come together to support children's learning whilst widening their future life chances.

This degree can be completed as a postgraduate diploma by taking four core modules and two optional modules. You could also choose to study for a Postgraduate Certificate in Education by choosing to study the following three core modules: Critical Theory and Education; Curriculum Leadership; Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment.
