Study Details: 1 year - 5 years
If you are a science teacher or educator looking to further your career or want to become a science educator and engage with the theoretical aspects of science education before your career begins, this may be the ideal degree for you. You will critically explore how science is taught and learnt. You will also engage in the contemporary issues in science education and position themselves within these debates and ideas, applying them to their own international contexts.
The minimum entry requirement is a second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. However, those who do not meet the minimum requirements should contact the Programme Leader. Work experience will be taken into account.

Graduates from the MA Science Education course have gone on to be successful in a wide variety of contexts related to education. Those that are already teaching science have often been promoted. Those that are yet to teach have gone on to work in schools or informal learning institutions or pursued a professional qualification (PGCE) to gain QTS (qualified teaching status) to teach science in schools. Others have found new opportunities in different educational phases (from early years through to higher education) or in science education policy or research. Some graduates go on to work internationally on science-related education and projects, whilst others undertake further research on PhD courses.
