Education

This course is suited for those with a serious interest in education practice, policy and research. Our students are those aiming to work in education policy, development or research as well as educators looking for career development in a wide range of contexts. It suits educators and educational leaders and those in educational support roles from all sectors (early years, primary, post-primary, further education and higher education) as well as from both formal and informal learning contexts.

Admission Requirements Applicants are normally expected to hold a good honour's degree (normally a 2.1 or equivalent). They should also have two academic referees (applicants with work experience can instead provide one academic and one professional referee).
