Advance your expertise, elevate your career, and make a lasting impact in Physical Education with our MSc Education (Physical Education). Designed for ambitious educators, this master's programme equips you with the knowledge, skills and research expertise needed to drive innovation in PE teaching and learning.

Whether you are a newly qualified teacher, an aspiring PE specialist, or an emerging educational leader, this course provides an excellent pathway for professional growth.

Building on the foundations of our Secondary Physical Physical Education (11-18) PGCE programme, the MSc combines academic rigour with practical relevance. Eligible graduates can progress onto the MSc immediately or within five years of completing the PGCE.

Following your PGCE, you will complete the 30-credit Research in Education module, delivered online over five consecutive days during the summer holidays, making it flexible and accessible alongside your professional commitments.

You will then undertake a research project relevant to your specialist subject of physical education and the school/educational context. Supported through one-to-one supervision by internationally recognised researchers and experts, you will develop and complete a 7,500-word dissertation in the style of a journal article.

On successful completion, you will achieve a full MSc Education qualification, enhancing your professional credibility, strengthening your leadership potential, and positioning you at the forefront of Physical Education practice and research.

Sport has always been my passion and I was excited to study and teach it at a PGCE level. When I researched the course, lecturers, and opportunities offered here, I thought they looked incredible and far beyond any other university.

Trainees understand exactly how to apply this understanding to their practice in school. The course goes beyond the core content framework, providing trainees with an excellent grounding in the requirements of teaching, including in upholding the highest standards of professionalism."

What's included in your tuition fees Fee status Pay in advance or instalments

The fee stated is for a full-time student undertaking a master’s programme of 180 credits. Part-time students will spread this credit load over a two or more years of study as agreed with the School/Department. Fees will be charged for the credit weighting of modules taken in a given year. The tuition fees payable can be calculated by dividing the published fee by 180 and then multiplying by the number of credits to be taken in the specific year.

Please note that there is no student loans or funding for this programme and will need to be self-funded.

Fees are reviewed annually and are likely to increase in subsequent years by a small amount (will not exceed 5%) to take into account inflationary pressures.
