The government has committed over £330 million to attract and retain expert teachers, with leadership salaries up 5.5% since 2023 (Department for Education). This level of investment reflects the need for strong, thoughtful leaders in the education sector. Specifically, those who can understand "what works here, in this context, and why?" Our MA Education gives you the tools to answer that question, and reshape practice and policy for the students who need it most.
Why this master's degree?
Build the judgement the education sector needs to analyse policy, drive change, and think across borders.
Designed for teachers and education professionals ready to move into education leadership or specialist roles.
Created in London, by educators advising UNESCO, ministries, and global organisations.
To apply, you’ll need to meet the following entry requirements:
A UK honours degree at 2:2 or above (or equivalent international qualification).
Or
2+ years’ relevant professional experience in one or more education-related roles.
The government has committed over £330 million in financial incentives to attract and retain expert teachers (Department for Education, 2026). On top of this, leadership salaries are up 5.5% since 2023 (Department for Education, 2025). Schools, trusts, and policy bodies need people who can step into education leadership and do more than manage teaching and learning. They need people who can think, question, and lead with purpose.
An MA Education puts you in that position. You’ll graduate with strong analytical and research skills, along with a global perspective, helping you move into senior roles or lead with more confidence in your current one. You’ll be better equipped to shape institutions, support professionals, and make a real difference to students’ futures. Here are some of the careers your MA Education, combined with your experience, could lead to as you apply and build on the skills from this programme. Please note that this MA does not award qualified teacher status or professional accreditation – but it can strengthen your expertise and support progression when combined with relevant experience and any role-specific requirements.
On this online MA Education programme, you’ll study a series of carefully designed modules. With flexible monthly starts, you’ll join the next available module and study alongside a cohort of education studies master's level students learning the same subject at the same time.
