Overview

The Education - Learning and Leadership programme offered by Northumbria University is aimed at those who work as teachers in the UK and internationally and want to progress into a senior position, as well as those in broader roles in the wider education sector.

You’ll explore the latest educational issues, theories, and concepts, as well as learning key practices in the education system. Modules cover everything from leading and managing change to reflective practice; from Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND), diversity and inclusion to technology in teaching. You’ll also gain a new perspective on data and evaluation, culminating in an in-depth, research-led Systematic Appraisal towards the end of the course.

Career Options

If you’re looking to progress your teaching career, whether in the UK or internationally, without taking time away from your current job, this online Masters degree in Education is for you. It will develop your leadership skills, as well as helping you to critically reflect on, challenge and improve your practice so you’ll stand out to current and future employers.

This course is also suitable for those in wider educational roles. You might be self-employed and interested in the theory behind education. Or you might be looking to develop your business opportunities and teaching practices within corporate learning and HR, museums, education administration, charities, or public departmental roles in education.
