MA · Education and teaching

Our MA in Creative Education is a two-year top-up qualification (building on your previous study of a related Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCHE) or attainment of Advance HE Fellowship (Descriptor 2)) that will enable you to develop expertise in the field of teaching and learning through critical evaluation of research and pedagogical practices. Our MA Creative Education offers a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary landscape of creative Higher Education (HE). This course supports you to develop your knowledge of relevant pedagogies, integrate educational theory with your teaching practice and gain new insights into creative education, your own specialist subject, and the broader realm of Higher Education. The course equips you with the skills you need to apply your learning to your teaching practice; making the learning experience directly relevant to your career goals. The MA Creative Education is designed to advance your skills as an independent learner, with a strong emphasis on providing the necessary support and guidance for your professional development. We will support you to manage and plan your independent study time as you become an increasingly autonomous learner/practitioner. This ensures that you feel reassured and confident in your learning journey. Course delivery The MA Creative Education programme is delivered entirely online, featuring a combination of synchronous group sessions using Microsoft Teams. Sessions take place in the early evening on a set day of the week during term time from September to August. Group sessions are interspersed with individual online tutorials and independent study time. All students have access to resources on the University’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and library website. This highly interactive learning model accommodates a variety of learning styles and is designed to build on your existing professional and life experiences. You will be taught by active educators, practitioners, and researchers with expertise in creative education. Course Structure The MA Creative Education comprises five related, but independent 20-credit units at level 7 (M-level), plus a 40-credit research project in the final year. Units are delivered and assessed over a series of teaching blocks and consist of a total of 600 learning hours per year: 200 for each 20-credit unit and 400 for the final dissertation.
