The MSc Education Studies at the University of Strathclyde is designed for those seeking to critically engage with the complex social, political, and global forces shaping educational policy and practice. You will explore how globalisation impacts policymaking and develop a nuanced understanding of educational theory, from historical perspectives to contemporary issues. This postgraduate degree is ideal if you wish to deepen your analytical skills and contribute to informed discussions about education's role in society, preparing you for advanced research or professional development in the field.
This full-time, on-campus Masters programme is studied over one year, offering a comprehensive curriculum that includes modules on research methods and reasoning to support your independent work. You will have the opportunity to delve into diverse frameworks for understanding learning and educational policy, culminating in a substantial 12,000 to 15,000-word dissertation on a topic you negotiate with your supervisor. You will graduate with advanced research skills and a critical perspective, ready for careers in educational leadership, policy analysis, or further academic study.
