MA in International Education

Both the Education Studies, and International Education and Global Citizenship awards form part of the Professional Master's Programme MA International Education within the School of Education and offer a mixture of theory with professional development within an international context. Students choosing the MA International Education programme aim typically to question the assumptions that lie beneath educational policy and practice and so develop a closer understanding and a broader purview of education. It raises questions such as: What is the nature of learning in different countries and cultures? What is the relationship between education and the economy? How is education changing as it enters the market place? How are education systems managed? Who takes decisions about the curriculum and teaching? How far do, or should, governments control education? What is the role of professional educators? What will be the role of schools and universities in the future? What is the future for education in the knowledge economy? Is capitalism 'instrumentalising' education?

The award of MA Education Studies or MA International Education and Global Citizenship follows the successful completion of four 15 credit core modules from those listed, two 30 credit optional modules and the 60 credit dissertation.Term fees /Cost: 9000 British pounds (1 year course)
