A master's degree that will engage students in analytical enquiry into the theory of leadership within education, helping them improve their own practice and that of their organisation.
Froebel College and Roehampton's School of Education are rooted in Froebelian principles that include a commitment to addressing people's wellbeing personally, in education, and in their communities. It is an aim of this master's programme to strengthen students’ awareness of the social and communal influences that impact upon the ideas, frameworks and practices adopted by leaders and organisations within communities.
The University of Roehampton’s commitment to critical thinking, equality, diversity, inclusion, responsible citizenship and leadership are all reflected in this programme. It provides opportunities for students to engage with up-to-date research over a broad range of issues and current thinking relating to education leadership and management. The focus is local, national and global with all modules drawing upon students’ diversity, diverse experiences and research literature to develop a research-informed understanding of leadership and management in different social and educational contexts.
Students will study leadership and management in educational contexts from international perspectives to develop their knowledge, understanding and practice. Specifically, modules will cover aspects such as leading teaching and learning, developing staff and teams, organisational theory and strategy. These modules will take a people-focused approach, to understand the complexities of individuals and teams, and wider groups such as the staff, the organisation itself and beyond.
The programme enables students to specialise in particular areas of interest by giving a choice in their assignment and dissertation topics so their study has an immediate relevance and also prepares them for their future development as a practitioner and as a researcher.
A key aspect of the Education Leadership and Management MA is the undertaking of a piece of research. Students will study the foundational skills and concepts in academic enquiry, and planning for their specialist research. Their research will be in the form of a dissertation, as a means of critically enquiring into and developing knowledge about an issue or question relevant to their study.
This programme has an international profile and brings together students at postgraduate level from around the world.
