| The MA in Education degree course provides graduates who have academic, professional or personal interests in education with an opportunity to pursue these through study and research at postgraduate level. The MA is a one-year, full-time programme which is attained through the successful completion of 90 credits, 60 of which are obtained through coursework, and the remaining 30 through the successful completion of a minor (15,000-20,000 word) thesis. Students take elective modules from two separate strands: Professional Development and Educational Sciences and are also required to take two core modules from the Research Methods strand. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
