This Masters in Professional Education and Leadership is designed to impact directly on professional practices and pupils’ learning experiences and outcomes. The Professional Education and Leadership team in the Faculty of Social Sciences has worked in partnership with local authorities and other stakeholders over a number of years to develop this highly regarded professional education course.
This course draws upon current research to help you develop a critical, collaborative and enquiring approach to leading professional practice in the current policy context.
Building on the success and impact of previous courses, the modules you’ll take on this course take account of current policy and the General Teaching Council for Scotland’s (GTCS) Professional Standards framework (2012) providing the opportunity to practice leadership at all levels.
There are six optional pathways: Advanced Professional Practice; Middle Leadership; Curriculum; Digital Leadership; Coaching and Mentoring; and Promoting Equity.
You can exit after stage 1 with PgCert Professional Education and Leadership.
You can exit after stage 2 with PgDip Professional Education and Leadership.
A minimum of a second class Honours degree (2:1 preferred) or equivalent. Applicants without these formal qualifications but with significant appropriate/relevant work/life experience are encouraged to apply.
