Key Facts

The programme offers two distinct pathways, allowing you to tailor your studies to your experience, career goals, and professional interests: the Initial Teacher Education (ITE) pathway and the Experienced Educator (EE) pathway. Both pathways combine innovative learning methodologies with practical industry knowledge, while providing a tailored approach to your development as a creative educator.

• Initial Teacher Education (ITE) pathway: Designed for those entering teaching or early in their career, this pathway focuses on developing practical and reflective skills for the classroom and other professional settings. You’ll undertake a teaching placement comprising teaching experience and lesson observation, which also makes you eligible to become a professionally qualified teacher of 14+ learners in the UK (QTLS) through the Education & Training Foundation. Achieving qualified ‘QTLS’ status through this route makes you legally qualified to teach in UK colleges and schools, on top of your master’s degree – a dual outcome from a single programme. Those working in education can already use this instead of a teaching placement.
• Experienced Educator (EE) pathway: Designed for qualified teachers or those with over three years’ teaching experience, this pathway builds on what you already know and extends your theoretical and pedagogic knowledge. You’ll explore new practices in leadership, innovation, coaching and curriculum-making. It’s offered part-time over two calendar years, so you can continue working alongside your studies.
