Starting out on a journey towards leadership roles in education is an exciting prospect, and this course is designed to equip you with the essential skills and knowledge to thrive in these positions. You’ll dive into critical theory, a dynamic approach that encourages you to look at issues from various viewpoints. This not only improves your understanding of the course's core topics but also provides you with a broader, global perspective on education. You'll learn to analyse complex educational issues, essential for any leader in the field. Next, you’ll learn about research methods crucial for real-world challenges while working with your classmates to select suitable approaches, boosting your teamwork and problem-solving skills. Finally, you’ll complete an independent research project, supported by faculty staff and resources, gaining hands-on experience and a strong foundation for your educational career. We offer modules in both the daytime and evenings, so you can find a pattern of delivery that fits with your other commitments, whether you are working, volunteering or studying full time. In 2024-25 you can choose evening modules from: Coaching and Mentoring, Early Childhood, Leadership and Management or Social Justice and Community Engagement as well as the mandatory modules shared by all pathways.
Getting in
As the university states it
The applicant must have 60 credits at level 7 (i.e. a relevant PG Cert), which will be recognised or accredited towards the full MA. An example of this might include: Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) Post graduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PCAP), Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PG Cert HE) and Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education In order to ensure our students have a rich learning and student experience, most of our programmes have a mix of domestic and international students. We reserve the right to close applications early to either group, if application volumes suggest that this blend cannot be achieved. In addition, existing undergraduate students at the University of Hull have a guaranteed ‘Fast Track’ route to any postgraduate programme, subject to meeting the entry criteria (excluding Social Work).
