1. About this programme/module

The MSc in Professional and Higher Education is a postgraduate programme aimed at teachers in post -16 education. This includes teachers in colleges and universities as well as those teaching outwith these formal settings e.g. in placement settings such as hospitals. 

The programme can be completed in one year by studying full time. However, students on the programme tend to be mature learners who are studying alongside work and therefore the majority of learners are studying part time. Students must take eight modules and submit a thesis to complete the programme. The typical student chooses to study two modules per year meaning the programme takes 4-5 years to complete. 

The current (2018-19) cohort is 72 students comprising of students based across the world; from the UK to Australia and Singapore.
