  • Course description
    Why should I study this programme?
    The MA Art, Craft & Design Education programme provides opportunities for teachers, lecturers and other professionals to investigate and analyse the role of art, craft and design in education. 

    Students bring to the programme a wide variety of experiences in a range of educational contexts, from Foundation Stage settings through to primary and secondary schools and initial teacher education. By critically reflecting upon their professional practice and studying its location within a theoretical framework, students should arrive at a broader knowledge and deeper understanding of their field.

    The programme has a multicultural, international and cross-cultural focus and provides opportunities for students to explore a range of theoretical and practical approaches to the study of art, craft and design in education.

    A thorough research training provides students with the skills and knowledge to undertake the dissertation and a foundation for those wishing to continue to MPhil/PhD study.
