Course Description

Our education master's degrees give you the opportunity to design a tailored programme of study that suits your cultural and learning needs. You will be able to specialise and receive an award in a particular disciplinary area.

This pathway is designed for UK and international mathematics teachers and other professionals working in mathematics education, from primary schools to post-16 education. You will be supported in integrating the theory and practice of teaching and learning mathematics by:

being an active researcher of your own and others' practice, including reworking your own practice; carrying out small-scale research projects, one of which can act as a pilot project for the major work of your dissertation; engaging with research literature, especially the current journals and activity of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education; engaging with new developments in teaching and learning mathematics; updating your mathematics knowledge; writing assignments that show the emergence of a theoretical frame, presenting a literature search and developing ideas from a seminar; becoming confident with presentation, argumentation, research and ICT skills. The programme has been recognised as excellent by the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics.

Accreditation by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA), working in partnership with University Archaeology UK (UAUK), recognises academic programmes which provide students with appropriate workplace skills relevant to both a career in the historic environment and CIfA membership at Practitioner grade.
