Education MA

This course is designed to enhance the ongoing professional development of educators, preparing them for leadership roles, Headship qualifications, and advanced study at the professional or doctoral level. At University Centre Colchester, we take pride in offering extensive support to our students while fostering the development of critical research and analytical skills needed to explore contemporary issues, concepts, and debates.

This is a 2-year part time study programme whereby the delivery is predominantly online 1 evening per week.

The aim of the MA Education Studies is to give a more in depth look at the world of education and some of the forces that act upon it whilst enabling educators to critically review their own practice in a range of teaching related disciplines before embarking on a piece of major research to improve either their own or their learners’ education.

The aims of the course are to:

* Widen participation of Masters level education in this field within North Essex, to enhance the continued professional development offered to teachers and prepare middle leaders in education for progression to doctoral level study or the National Progression

* Qualification for Headship (which requires evidence of recent masters levels study for one of the admission criteria) and to update skills of existing teachers and educators to enrich the classroom experience for their learners.
