Masters Degree Description

The Education (Assessment) MA route investigates theories, practice, policies and use of assessment in all phases of education. Our modules offer opportunities to explore assessment from a range of perspectives by applying theory related to policy research, sociology, philosophy, psychology and more. Students who take this MA learn with world-leading experts in the field of educational assessment and leave with key research skills that they are able to use in a range of educational workplaces or take on to further study at doctoral level.

Entry Requirements

Normally applicants are expected to have a second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, and a clearly expressed interest in educational assessment, gained largely through experience.
