Masters Degree Description

The Philosophy of Education MA is offered by the world-renowned Centre for Philosophy of Education, based within UCL Institute of Education (IOE). Students are offered a comprehensive grounding in the field of philosophy of education. They learn how to apply philosophical research methods to engage critically with contemporary and real-life educational issues in both practice and policy and with the broader social sciences and humanities. The MA develops students’ sensitivity to a diversity of thought-provoking and culturally sensitive viewpoints on education and supports them to increase self-reflection and develop their ability to identify and generate innovative and valuable arguments.
