Educational Leadership & Management

What will you learn?

The Masters in Educational and Leadership Management is a core programme of study for leaders and managers in education. It is designed to meet the interests of leaders at all levels who are keen to improve their leadership and management understanding and practices.

The course aims to strengthen your leadership and management skills, and to enable you to apply theory and ideas within your workplace and utilize existing and emerging research-informed knowledge of educational leadership internationally. It will enable you to develop, broaden and deepen your critical understanding of your organization and the environment in which you operate, manage change and promote the development of yourself, your colleagues and your organization.

The programme is vitally relevant for middle and senior managers and leaders in schools and post-compulsory educational organizations in the UK and overseas, as well as those who advise these managers and leaders – for example local authority staff, educational consultants, and policy advisors.

Throughout the course, you will develop your skills in critical reflection, critical reading and critical writing; practice-relevant research skills; research design; literature searches; and ethics in educational research. You will carry out independent study in an area relevant to your needs and/or those of your organization.
