The course examines a range of contemporary UK and international education systems with a specific focus on education as a business. It will build your awareness of business enterprise in education for individuals and organizations as you consider management approaches, organizational culture and behaviour, and marketing. This course emphasises the political, social, technological, and economic context of education, presenting theories related to these aspects so that you can critically understand education systems worldwide. The course addresses the fast-changing educational environment, giving you the skills to respond to those changes within various educational settings. Youll have the opportunity to make national and international comparisons and analyze and solve education-related problems globally.

Higher National Diploma (or equivalent)

Initial teaching qualification from a recognised teacher education institution

Successful completion of a Higher Education qualification with 120 European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) credits (or equivalent)
