Whether your chosen topic is teacher education, educational systems, pupil voice, educational leadership or history of education and whether you focus in on Early Years education, compulsory education, further or higher education, you will be supported by experts in our Institute of Education to deliver a significant piece of research with the potential to impact on educational practice in your chosen area.

The course can be a route into further research - many of our MRes students have progressed to undertake a PhD and some from there into academic jobs. However, it also provides you with a contemporary knowledge of issues and challenges in educational theory and practice and a rich portfolio of transferable skills – project management, critical and creative thinking, problem solving – which will be invaluable in a career as a teacher or an educational leader or manager.

We expect applicants to submit a project outline at the point of application which identifies the research question or problem that your project will address and why this is important to you, engages with what other researchers have written about this question/problem and explains why this research is needed, and sketches out how you will do the research: what data you will need to collect and how you will collect it. This proposal will enable us to identify the right person to supervise your project, your Director of Studies. We can offer supervisory expertise in the following areas:
  • Early Childhood
  • Leadership & Management
  • Mentoring & Coaching
  • Pupil voice
  • Religious Education
  • Special Education Needs
  • Teacher identity and retention
  • Psychology of Education
  • Social Pedagogy
  • Inclusive Education
  • Social Justice of Education
