About the course
The MSc Education (Higher Education) at the University of Oxford provides a broad introduction into the complex field of theories and practice in higher education globally.
The increasing significance of university rankings and the growing range of international student exchange schemes, as well as public discussion of tuition fees and the ‘vocationalisation’ of degree programmes, are just some of the current issues within higher education in many countries.
The master’s programme will provide you with the possibility to engage not only with the issues outlined, but also with a wide range of stimulating topics surrounding universities and colleges.
It is aimed at future leaders in the field – academics, policy-makers, researchers and managers.
The course is assessed through written assignments, a two-hour examination, and a research dissertation.
Graduate destinations
Education graduates go on to a range of policy, professional and academic careers. A significant number continue to doctoral research in the department.
