MA-level Education CPD Modules
Our MA-level modules will enable you to develop your understanding and critical awareness of educational theory and practice, as well as your self-reflection and research skills.
- The MA-Level Continuing Professional Development (CPD) route allows you to choose up to two modules from our MA Social Justice in Education.
- If you are a Goldsmiths PGCE alumni, we suggest you consider the full Masters instead. You can transfer up to 30 credits (within five years)
- The award you receive depends on the number of credits you successfully complete. Completing a single 30-credit module does not result in an award.
- After completing these modules, there is a possibility to transfer onto a relevant MA programme.
Contact the department
If you have specific questions about the modules, contact the Teachers Centre.
If you are interested in transferring onto a Masters after completing these modules, please contact the Head of MA Programmes in Educational Studies, Dr Francis Gilbert (f.gilbert@gold.ac.uk)
