Is this course suitable for me?
Intended to enable teachers to demonstrate their understanding of how the boundaries of knowledge are advanced through research, candidates will be expected to carry out a sustained research study, critically reviewing the current knowledge base of a specific area of educational practice, synthesizing research findings, reaching appropriate conclusions and making appropriate recommendations for practice.
If you need or would like to study a particular aspect of a particular programme, or wish to study over a longer period than the standard part-time course, you can study individual modules as an associate student. Credits gained from the study of these modules can be used towards the full diploma or degree programme in the future. This also means that financial costs can be spread over a longer period of time.
Overview
This is achieved by the completion of a 60 credit dissertation designed to support the student to prepare to carry out the dissertation. Input will be provided on research methodologies appropriate to the level of study and in addition the faculty facilitates level 7/M research modules that students can access, in part or entirely, according to individual needs.
Entry requirements
Completion of Postgraduate Diploma in Education or Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting) or Equivalent.
