Our Modules
Our MA Education and MA Inclusive Education programmes are modular - that is, it is possible to study and pay for one module at a time from a selection, and exit with a Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma award. This gives both students and school employers considerable flexibility in CPD training arrangements.
The list of available modules for the MA Education award is:
- Developing Effective Teaching and Learning
- Developing Effective Leadership and Management
- Developing Effective Coaching and Mentoring in Education
- Developing Effective Foundation Stage Teaching and Learning
- Developing Professional Practice
- Other specialist, subject or school-based modules, as agreed. For school-based modules, see below under 'CPD for your staff'. Currently specialist subject-based modules exist for:
• Design and Technology

• Physical education and Games
• Primary MFL - Action Enquiry for School Improvement
- Dissertation or independent school-based research project

CPD for your staff - Flexible options for schools and education employers
Many of our students are enrolled on school based and school led courses. This includes cohorts of students from an individual school as well as clusters of local schools. We partner with you to offer significant advantages for your school and your teachers:
- The course can take place at your school (or at cluster venues local to you)
- The course can be selected and tailored to your needs and priorities
- You are able to maximise impact of the course upon your school/cluster by providing strong direction, support and the ability to disseminate the work
- Your teachers save travel time.
The modules are usually PDT 4170 Developing Professional Practice and PDT 4090 Action Enquiry, followed by a Dissertation (PDT 4044). As an alternative there are now PDT xxxx Professional Practice and PDT Developing Professional Practice, which are 30 credit options.
