MA Education Leadership and Management

at University of Exeter

This MA offers the opportunity to study the fascinating and constantly evolving field of education leadership and management. You will examine education leadership and management theory in relation to a range of local, national and international contexts and explore some of the major global trends in the field.
 

We believe our strengths are:

• A strong foundation in both educational leadership and management in ways that will connect strongly with the previous and future professional experiences of students
• The specific establishment of educational leadership frameworks that students will be able to readily apply to professional contexts
• A module that focuses on issues of educational leadership from a policy perspective (EFPM910: Education Policy)
• An elective module covering a variety of areas (such as creative arts, SEN, etc.)
• A relatively small number of modules enables students to have a less stressful and easier to manage learning experience
• The possibility of placement
