About this degree
Students who complete the MA Education (Literacy) will have the skills and knowledge to reflect critically on the role of literacy within a variety of contexts, including schools, the home and the workplace. Using a primarily socio-cultural perspective, this MA explores literacy use and learning across the life span and across a range of life domains and cultural contexts. Having engaged with a range of different theoretical approaches in the study of literacy, this MA gives students an opportunity to conduct a small-scale study of their own into an aspect of literacy that is relevant to the student.
Who this course is for
The MA Education (Literacy) is a broad based, generalist programme, appropriate for all those who have a serious interest in literacy education, practice, policy and research. It suits those aiming to work in education policy, development, research or leadership, as well as educators who are looking to develop their careers in a wide variety of contexts. As such the course will appeal to those who have recently completed a first degree in a related field, as well as others such as teachers, health care professionals, librarians, early childhood practitioners and family support workers. The MA Education (Literacy) is not a teacher training programme and, since it does not include a practice component, is unlikely to satisfy teacher certification requirements.
What this course will give you
As well as the subject knowledge and skills mentioned above, this course will also give you access to the International Literacy Centre at IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, which is a world-leading centre for the study of literacy learning and teaching. Our students come from around the world and their input and experiences ensure a learning experience that is rich and diverse. Students on the MA Education (Literacy) include full-time students who are learning alongside part-time peers who might include practising teachers and lecturers, awarding body staff members, education policymakers and educational researchers; this diverse student body ensures a rich and engaging learning experience for all. Should you decide to continue your studies to doctoral level we offer a first-class doctoral programme and staff members are actively involved in an extensive range of innovative, nationally and internationally acclaimed, research and development projects.
