MA International Education and Globalisation - scholarships and bursaries available to those eligible

We live in a more and more connected world, with a mobile and interlinked population. Because of this, education needs to evolve to meet the needs of a more interconnected society.

Throughout this course, you’ll focus on education in a global context, looking beyond borders and regions. You’ll explore the growing trends and contradictions concerning international education. This will develop your understanding of how globalisation influences education policy and practice.

You’ll also consider how the relationship between globalisation and international education is affected by the roles of culture and by issues of inequality, sustainability and social justice.

Gain important career skills

You will leave this course with:

• a well-rounded knowledge of international education and globalisation, and the intersection between the two concepts. This includes issues and challenges, research-informed policy and practice, and latest developments
• well-developed research skills, including experience of undertaking your own research, preparing you well for doctoral study
• wider transferable skills, such as critical analysis, intercultural communication, leadership, teamwork and problem-solving
• the knowledge to make a significant contribution to policy and practice in international education

Lots of roles within the international education sector require master's-level qualifications. This course, which lasts 12 months, is an efficient way to gain a qualification that will make you more suitable for these opportunities.

Throughout this course, you’ll take part in sessions designed to improve your study skills and employability. These will give you networking opportunities with employers and alumni.
