Broaden your understanding of key theories, concepts and practices in education while focusing on your specific interests, passions and employability within the field.
On this course, you’ll critically engage with contemporary theories and practices in education, tailored to your interests and specialisms. The course equips you with the skills and knowledge to lead and innovate within the education sector, while also enhancing your employability and aligning your learning to your career ambitions.
You normally need a BA (Honours) degree or equivalent. We take account of your degree classification and may ask to see an example of academic writing.
If English is not your first language, you need an overall IELTS score of 6.5 with 6.0 in writing and a minimum of 5.5 in all other skills. If your English language skill is currently below IELTS 6.5 we recommend you consider a Sheffield Hallam University Pre-sessional English course which will enable you to achieve an equivalent English score.
Accreditation of Prior Credit and Learning (APCL)
If you have existing masters level credit from previous postgraduate study, you may be eligible for exemption from some elements of the early stages of this course. In order to be considered for possible exemptions which, if approved, would also reduce your overall course fee, you would need to provide a full transcript of your postgraduate credits with your application form by the end of July.
If you do not have such academic qualifications we may consider your application individually, based on your personal, professional and work experience, and other formal qualifications. You may also be able to claim credit points which can reduce the amount of time it takes to complete your qualification at Sheffield Hallam.
