Course content

At NTU, the MA Education course is designed for those people with a desire to provide high-quality education and care. You’ll explore the importance of education over time.

You’ll challenge your thinking as you reflect on how settings can make a positive impact on education and community development. All the while, you’ll build on your understanding of the field and emerge as a reflective and inclusive practitioner.

This course is aimed at education professionals or graduates with a related degree who wish to advance their career prospects. You’ll already work in a leadership or management role in an education focussed setting or have ambitions to move into leadership.

The MA Education degree is increasingly seen as both academic enhancement and a means to facilitate career progress. Many graduates have gone on to successful careers in the education sector, pursuing senior roles, while others have continued studying to complete a Professional Doctorate, an MPhil or a PhD.

The course is structured to allow you to study MA Education or a specialist pathway in MA Education in Organisation Leadership and Governance, Inclusive Pedagogy, Early Childhood or, Pedagogic Enquiry.
