Education: International Education

This course is subject to final approval.

The MA Education: International Education offers the opportunity to work with researchers who have developed leading perspectives in understanding comparative and international education policy and practice.  The programme is particularly relevant to students from developed and developing countries who plan to work in professional, management, and education roles in both national education systems and internationally.

Why study Education: International Education?

The programme situates the study of international education within a complex and changing world where education and education professionals are called upon to play equally complex and challenging roles in promoting economic growth and competition, while at the same time supporting the development of sustainable and cohesive societies and promoting equity and social justice.

Students study core modules in International Education and Globalisation; Economics, Policy and Society; and Social Science Research and have the option of choosing from options which examine what is known and understood about Education and Development; Education, Conflict and Peace; and International Higher Education. 

Students are supported to complete their dissertation studies within a range of institutions and organisations involved in national and international education, including policy and advocacy organisations; schools, colleges and universities; NGOs and international organisations.
