MA Creative Teaching and Learning Design is founded on the principle that effective learning design can fundamentally transform people and organisations. We strive to develop confident professionals capable of creating learning experiences that are engaging, inclusive, and human-centred.
Our approach recognises the complex interplay between creativity, pedagogy, and technology in modern learning environments. Our goal is to empower learning designers who can reimagine education for the 21st century.
You'll experience a journey from exploring foundational concepts in learning and teaching to mastering advanced application and research into learning experiences. The journey culminates in a substantial research project, which will position you at the forefront of innovation in teaching and learning design. Throughout all stages, you'll engage with real-world challenges to develop your critical thinking and practical problem-solving skills.
The course is delivered part-time, online over 105 weeks, enabling you to balance advanced study with professional practice. For those with existing qualifications, direct entry to the PGDip stage is available with 60 relevant credits at Level 7.
You'll usually have BA (Hons) degree graded at 2.1 or above, or an equivalent UK or international qualification in your chosen subject or a related discipline.
While MA Creative Teaching and Learning Design is an online course, you'll have opportunities to engage with industry leaders through guest lectures, workshops, and collaborative projects. These experiences provide insights into contemporary practices in teaching and learning design across sectors.
