The University’s MSc in Professional Practice – Teaching & Learning is a part-time, coursework assessed, Master’s course which runs over three years and focuses on key aspects of teaching such as the role of schooling and barriers to learning. You take examples of projects and initiatives you are involved in and use them to explore teaching practice culminating in a piece of practice-based research.
