This page covers MBA Educational Leadership and Management (Top-Up) across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a 9-12 Months (Part-time) postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Educational Leadership includes time in a school or other setting at most departments, and that placement is arranged before you arrive.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £8,950 a year.
If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
