The MA in Education provides opportunities to study a wide range of educational issues. It will equip you to engage critically with the issues shaping education locally, nationally and globally.
Drawing on the expertise of internationally recognised researchers in Durham University's School of Education, you will explore how educational theory, research and practice intersect to influence learning, teaching and organisational change. The programme combines intellectual challenge with flexibility, allowing you to personalise your studies through a range of optional modules and an independent dissertation focused on an area that matters to you.
Whether you are an experienced educator, an aspiring teacher, an educational leader, policy professional, administrator or recent graduate with an interest in education, the course will help you develop advanced analytical, research and professional skills that can be applied across diverse educational settings and careers.
The MA Education combines compulsory and optional modules that develop your understanding of educational research, theory, policy and practice. Through a balance of methodological training, conceptual exploration and independent inquiry, you will learn how to critically evaluate evidence, engage with contemporary debates and investigate issues that matter in education today.
