National MA (Masters) in Education (Wales)

The National MA (Masters) in Education (Wales) is a truly transformative programme for educational professionals in Wales, from early career teachers to senior leaders. The educational landscape in Wales is changing rapidly. Teaching not only requires the mastery of a complex set of skills to guide, motivate, and facilitate student learning, but also the ability to enquire into professional practice in order to improve it.

The MA in Education, which has been collaboratively developed by seven universities in Wales, through direct engagement with a variety of key stakeholders will ensure that all education professionals in Wales have the same high-quality opportunity to enhance their professional knowledge, engage with research, and to improve their professional practice. Modules typically include:

advanced research and enquiry skills
additional learning needs, excellence in practice
curriculum design and realisation
evidence-informed practice

Applicants can study the general MA Education (Wales) or study the MA Education (Wales) with focus on a specific pathway:

National MA Education (Wales): Additional Learning Needs
National MA Education (Wales): Leadership
National MA Education (Wales): Curriculum
National MA Education (Wales): Equity in Education

The MA is a part-time, 3-year programme. However, students who are able to demonstrate prior learning are able to enter the programme at year 2 and complete the programme over 2 years.

Welsh Government provides funding to cover the cost of the fees per eligible student. Further information can be found on the National Masters website.
