The MA Educational Leadership programme is designed for educational practitioners who wish to establish and expand their career by moving into an educational leadership position or role within their professional context.

The programme therefore provides a unique opportunity for personal and professional development and supports staff who need to evidence progression in leadership knowledge and skills. The modules and the programme have been carefully selected to help course members develop a repertoire of skills and knowledge relevant to a leadership role in education.

These include understanding the theory and practice of leadership and management, as well as obtaining a sound understanding of key aspects of curriculum design and learning technologies. This is essential if education leaders, managers and teachers are to employ the latest educational technologies to support innovative curriculum design to enhance the student experience.

A key element of the programme is the focus on developing research skills. This provides the foundation to undertake a detailed enquiry, using both primary and secondary sources, into an aspect of leadership as part of the triple project module that can focus on making a contribution to educational theory and/or improving practice.
