Special features

Education has been a discipline of study at Manchester since 1890.

Our students come from all over the globe, and our qualifications are recognised across the globe.

Our research improves the quality of education across the world, with 78% of our activity defined as `world-leading' or `internationally excellent' (Research Excellence Framework 2014).

The course is taught by world-leading researchers who focus on the realities of professional practice through using the social sciences. This includes:

Dr Jenna Mittelmaier (an expert on issues around international student experience);

Dr Kirstin Kerr (an expert on education and poverty);

Dr Miguel Lim (an expert on higher education policy and internationalisation);

Dr Susie Miles (known internationally for her specialist knowledge of inclusion and disability in developing country contexts);

Course units are delivered through lectures, tutorials, group-work, case-based approaches, and enquiry-based learning. Comprehensive training is provided in the use of electronic resources.

We encourage both individual and co-operative learning and research and hope to foster an ethos of lifelong learning. We aim to build on the expertise of our students, many of whom are experienced teachers, and who bring with them a wealth of knowledge and practical experience from a wide range of different countries.

Coursework and assessment

You will study four course units in each semester, six of which are core and two of which are optional.

The form of assessment varies by course unit. However, most involve a 3,000-word written assessment, which may be in the form of an essay, a critical review of literature, or a research report. Formative and summative feedback is provided.

The dissertation is the report of an empirical research project investigation of an aspect of education, and is 15,000 words in length.
