The Graduate School of Education has a long tradition of offering initial and continuing professional development for professionals and practitioners.

The Graduate School offers five Masters programmes:

• The long established Masters/Postgraduate Diploma in Education
• The MSc in Education, Technology and Society
• The MSc in Science & Education
• The new (2008) MSc in Educational Research
• The MSc in TESOL

There are a number of common features to all Masters/Diploma programmes. All are modular, are grounded in current professional practice and research, and allow credit transfer

We aim to:

• extend and deepen students' professional knowledge
• develop students' understanding of specific theories, ideas and practices, and the relationships between perspectives from different disciplines
• provide a caring, collaborative working environment in which students from different backgrounds can work together and share experiences for their mutual benefit
• encourage a commitment to intellectual challenge
• develop students' intellectual, practical and transferable skills
• help students to read and evaluate research in their subject area, and to conduct systematic research relevant to their professional practice
• encourage critical thinking
• encourage students to develop as reflective practitioners
• provide clear and effective structures for the organisation of teaching and for students' learning.
