Designed with professionals in mind, the Roehampton Education, Leadership and Management MA provides a highly flexible programme of study aimed at students and professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge and analytical enquiry.
By focusing on graduating with a professional skillset, youll become a confident, agile, independent thinker, with the ability to adapt rapidly to change. This incorporates:
Studying leadership and management in educational contexts from international perspectives to develop your knowledge, understanding and practice
Taking a people-focused approach, to understand the complexities of individuals and teams, and wider groups such as the staff, the organisation itself and beyond.
The aim of this master's programme is to strengthen students awareness of the social and communal influences that impact upon the ideas, frameworks and practices adopted by leaders and organisations within our communities.
The course is delivered through stimulating, interactive workshops, lectures, and seminars at Roehampton. You will study a range of theoretical perspectives, critically looking at the values and assumptions underpinning these views.
Youll be able to shape your studies around your own interests and aspirations, with optional modules from a range of related MA programmes:
Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Excellence: from Glass Ceilings to Sticky Floors
Building Communities of Learning for Pupils and Practitioners
Contemporary Education Policy Debates: National and International Perspectives
This gives you the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding in an area of education leadership and management that interests you or is relevant to your chosen career.
Research-project:
A key aspect of the MA Education Leadership and Management is the undertaking of a piece of research. You will study the foundational skills and concepts in academic enquiry and planning for your specialist research. Your research will be in the form of a dissertation, as a means of critically enquiring into and developing knowledge about an issue or question relevant to your study.
The Roehampton School of Education is a progressive and inclusive community, putting you at the centre of your learning journey. Lecturers leading modules on this programme have specialist qualifications, teaching or leadership experience in the field of education, with relevant research and scholarly backgrounds, which will help shape the content of the programme.
