MA Education in the University of Bedfordshire is designed for practising professionals, or those interested in research, in teaching and learning or educational leadership – usually in schools, the lifelong learning sector and universities. Its modular structure allows you to personalise your choice of units and progress at a pace that best suits you, with a final phase focused on educational research via a dissertation.
MA Education in the University of Bedfordshire engages you with key issues in education and aims to encourage your evidence-based practice as you make direct and meaningful connections between the course and your own experiences and aspirations. The course helps you to broaden your knowledge of educational ideas and research findings as you identify and justify recommendations for further action. This places you in a better position to develop your work as a classroom practitioner or school leader.
We will consider you as an individual and take into account all elements of your application, not just your qualifications. We are looking for breadth and depth in your current studies and enthusiasm for the subject you wish to study. Standard entry students will need to have an undergraduate degree in the relevant field to pursue this qualification. Transfer applicants will be required to go through the Recognition of Prior Learning process (RPL), whilst non-standard applicants will need to evidence their relevant work experience.

Each unit in this course has its own assessment. Wherever possible, the specific focus of assignments is negotiated individually between the unit coordinator and the student, within the parameters of the unit, in order to ensure that the assignment meets your personal and professional needs. The course provides students with a carefully planned and coherent sequence of learning opportunities that facilitate their development through formative and summative assessments. At this level, the expectations, in terms of the quality of work produced, are high, and students will need to take active control of their learning.
