We’ve designed the course to support professional development through engagement with established and emerging debates about educational policy and practice. The programme has been recently redesigned to include enhanced work‑based learning opportunities, including an alternative final project route designed around professional practice.

Through a developmental sequence of modules, you will strengthen your skills in critically reflective practice and practical enquiry. You’ll develop your ability to think further and deeper about the complexity and challenges of education, as well as its possibilities. Throughout the MA, you’ll be encouraged to reflect on your own professional priorities and interests, allowing you to apply learning in ways that are relevant to your workplace and context.

The course brings together educational professionals from a wide variety of settings, including early years, primary and secondary education, special education, and further and higher education. Students range from early‑career teachers to senior leaders, managers and those who support learning, and this diverse mix ensures sessions draw on multiple perspectives and professional experiences.

The programme is designed to meet the needs of busy professionals, with evening and weekend sessions sensibly spaced across the academic year. Learning is supported through access to online library and journal resources, a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), and a specialist team within our Learning Hub to support academic learning and development. Each module is supported by a comprehensive handbook, reading list and guidance for assessment.

As part of the programme, you can choose to complete either the Introduction to Postgraduate Study of Childhood, Education and Family Support module at our Main Campus (Horsforth), or the Develop your NPQ, CPD or Work Based Project module, which is delivered remotely. All other modules are delivered at our Leeds City Campus.
