MA Education (Leadership, Management & Learning)

Our semi-distance learning MA encourages educationists  -  teachers, lecturers, managers - to broaden their knowledge, understanding and skills within their own work context.  You will be able to integrate self-supported study course units into your work and utilise your increased appreciation of education and theory on a day-to-day basis - helping you to review and analyse your skills as work roles demand.

Keele's programme is particularly innovative because it links different modes of study, comprising:

  • modularised coursework undertaken on a semi-distance learning basis 
  • work-based research project related to your own experience and professional interests (MA only)
  • course sessions which allow you to meet with tutors and colleagues from a wide range of professional backgrounds to look in greater depth at coursework issues.

The course is designed to be rigorous and challenging academically and practical in terms of your day-to-day responsibilities.  However, we do recognise the need to provide a workable and achievable balance since colleagues undertaking the course generally have personal/family commitments as well as full-time workloads.  We can provide all the essential elements needed to undertake the study programme - comprehensive Tutor Notes and additional readings, a high quality learning environment, as well as advice and support from experienced tutors.

Our concern is to try to make studying as rewarding as possible for you - with the minimum of disruption to the rest of your personal and professional life.  We endeavour to provide a high quality study programme which can be integrated into your work and home life.
