MA Education (HE)


This pathway enables Academic staff to pursue their scholarly and research interest in HE pedagogy by undertaking credit-bearing modules which will, upon completion, culminate in an award of diploma in Education (HE) or full MA Education (HE). The pathway may be of particular interest to Academic staff without a masters qualification, or who wish to supplement their existing academic subject related masters.


The programme may also interest Academic staff considering undertaking a PhD with an HE pedagogical focus.


What does it cover? The pathway has three parts:


Stage one: 60 Masters level credits PGCLT (HE) award or equivalent.


Stage two: 60 Masters credits


Stage three: 60 Masters credits: dissertation on an HE dedicated theme.


What are the entry requirements?


All participants should have a degree or equivalent level of qualification, be teaching on a Christ Church validated award and would normally have already completed the PGCLT (HE) award, or similar.


When does it run?


The pathway will be taught flexibly as cohorts are formed and in conjunction with the PGCLT (HE) programme, which runs on Wednesdays between 4.30pm and 7.30pm during term time.
