Build your own MA
Thursday, 30 September 2010

At the LKL, our two Institute of Education-based MA programmes offer opportunities to engage with issues related to technology, media and learning.  They connect theory with practice and recent, leading-edge research, examining the impact of new technologies, social and digital media, in both formal and informal learning settings. Because these degrees work in close partnership, it is easy to mix and match between the modules they offer, and add modules from across the IOE offering.  The eventual title of the degree you gain depends on the choice of core module and final report/dissertation.  Many of the modules are available in a choice of methods of attendance: face-to-face, mixed mode, or fully online.

You build up credits through a simple 4-step process. A Masters is 180 credits. It is possible to import up to 60 Masters-level credits from other programmes, including PGCE; that gives you one-third of your Masters degree at the outset (subject to agreement from IOE admissions).
