Educational Research MSc

Degree awarded: MSc

Duration: 12 Months FT and 24 Months PT

Entry requirements:

Applicants should hold a good first degree - 2:1 or above - or the overseas equivalent. An exception may be made for applicants with considerable professional expertise in educational settings who wish to pursue educational research at postgraduate level, especially where their first degree is in a non-humanities subject (for example, an experienced science teacher with a 2:2 degree in physics.)

Applicants must submit a personal statement and/or research proposal. This needs to explain why they specifically want to study for a research methods degree. It must outline the general topic they would be interested in researching and their experience (be it professional, academic, personal) relating to this. Until we receive this document we will be unable to consider your application.

Course fees: For entry in the academic year beginning September 2013, the tuition fees are as follows:

• MSc (full-time)
