MSc Education

You can choose any of our eight specialisms to match your interests, each dedicated to a key area within the field of education:

• Digital Education
• Educational Neuroscience
• Higher Education
• Inclusive Education
• Leadership and Policy
• Learning and Teaching
• Mathematics Education
• Policy and International Development.

For those who prefer to organise their own programme of studies, units can be taken from across the different specialisms and from a range of available optional units to build a tailored programme of study. For example, if your interests span both educational policy and the use of technology in education, you might combine units from the Leadership and Policy specialism with units from the Digital Education specialism.

Our diverse cohort across the programme creates a rich learning environment and encourages sharing of ideas among students and academics alike. After completing the MSc Education, most students go on to work in education in some form. Some will use the master's year to develop their skills as educational researchers and go on to study for a PhD at Bristol or elsewhere.
