of your own and others’ practice, including reworking your own practice; and carrying out small-scale research projects, one of which can act as a pilot project for the major work of your dissertation.
You will engage with research literature, especially the current journals and activity of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, as well as with new developments in teaching and learning mathematics. You will be supported in updating your mathematics knowledge, writing assignments that show the emergence of a theoretical frame, presenting a literature search and developing ideas from a seminar and becoming confident with presentation, argumentation, research and ICT skills.
The course has been recognised as excellent by the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics.
Entry requirements: A good UK undergraduate honours degree (or international equivalent) and normally some appropriate professional experience. This could include professional mathematics teaching experience, working as a learning support assistant for mathematics, or visiting mathematics classrooms as a researcher.
MSc Education (Neuroscience and Education) This programme, which can be studied on either a full-time or part-time basis, will provide you with the skills and understanding to interrogate and integrate insights from neuroscience and education.
It is suitable for teachers and practitioners of all subjects and across all ages, including teachers of children with special needs, educational psychologists, education managers, policy makers and educationalists who are keen to contribute to the research agenda of future cognitive neuroscience and educational

neuroscience research. It is for those who want to enrich their thinking and practice with insights about typical and atypical learning from the sciences of the mind and brain.
The programme also provides an excellent foundation for further research studies, such as a PhD, that involve the ideas and methods of cognitive neuroscience in areas related to education and learning.
You will engage with the latest research literature and debates, including the latest findings arising from the sciences of mind and brain in areas relevant to education (such as reading, attention, mathematics, language and learning disorders, autism, adolescent development, technology and creativity, along with many other areas). You will become an active researcher who draws on findings from neuroscience, psychology, genetics and educational research in order to carry out your own small-scale experiments and research studies, leading to the major work of your dissertation.
Entry requirements: An upper second- class undergraduate honours degree (or equivalent qualification).
MSc Education (Policy and International Development) The Policy and International Development pathway focuses on the relationship between education policy and practice and international development. It probes the influence of global policy agendas on education and the contribution that education makes to social justice, economic growth and sustainable development.
This MSc takes a critical look at ideas about social development, such as human rights, the capability approach and peace building, and their implications for education policy and practice. There will be opportunities to explore how educational theories and practice travel between and are adapted to specific contexts. You will analyse the role of key organisations involved in the global governance of education, including
civil society, international non-governmental organisations, development agencies and commercial bodies.
The Policy and International Development pathway develops skills for using international and comparative research, both in education and in analysing education policy. You will be supported to develop your own reasoned position and distinctive critical voice for commenting on education policy and education’s role within social development at international, national and local level. You will have access to first-class library and information services, allowing you to study the specific ideas, issues, initiatives and policies you are interested in.
Entry requirements: A good UK undergraduate honours degree (or equivalent qualification) and some appropriate professional experience.
MSc Education (Special and Inclusive Education) This programme focuses on inclusive practice. It is intended for teachers and other professionals working with students who are experiencing barriers to learning and participation or other special educational needs, whether in mainstream schools, special schools/units, colleges or early years settings.
The programme is designed to help you develop your knowledge, understanding and critical skills in analysing and evaluating current research, theory and practice. The programme will provide you with opportunities to explore a range of areas, such as international developments in special/inclusive education, how to work with and involve parents and children, and the school’s role in promoting inclusion. You will also look at a range of topics that arouse controversy and debate in the area of special needs.
Entry requirements: A good UK undergraduate honours degree (or international equivalent) and normally some appropriate professional experience, which may include voluntary work as well as paid employment.
