Professional development for qualified teachers and school leaders
We offer postgraduate qualifications up to master’s level in three specialisms:

  • Development of Expert Teaching: ideal for those new to the profession looking to master the foundations of successful practice.
  • Mentoring in Education: designed for established practitioners interested in supporting and developing the next generation of teachers.
  • Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND): tailored for educators focused on developing inclusive practices within diverse classroom contexts.

Our iPGCE graduates can also top up their master’s credits from the iPGCE to gain a full master’s degree and qualify for a 15% discount.

For aspiring or current school leaders our Master’s degree in Educational Leadership offers the opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles underpinning excellent leadership, and the skills and confidence to implement them.
