Program overview
A one year master degree in education, covering learning theory, education policy, inclusion, curriculum studies, research methods and a research dissertation.
Master of Arts in Education Studies asks IELTS 6.5 rather than 6.0, and it is an education master rather than a teaching qualification.
Master of Arts in Education Studies is taught at the Bangor University, a UK university with degree awarding powers. Because the education studies master is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after the education studies master ends, or three years for a doctorate. To claim it after the education studies master you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. One limit applies to the education studies master as to every taught course in Britain: the rules introduced in January 2024 stop taught students bringing a spouse or children as dependants, so the education studies master cannot support a family move.
Applicants to Master of Arts in Education Studies need a completed bachelor degree with a minimum of 60 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the education studies master is recorded at GBP 18,000 a year. Bangor charges no application fee, so applying for the education studies master costs you nothing, and no scholarship is recorded against it. the education studies master lists only two entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages the the education studies master application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A completed bachelor degree from a recognised university, at the percentage stated.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 85 with reading 20, writing 22, speaking 20 and listening 20; PTE Academic 62 with no component below 58; or the Duolingo English Test at 120.
- Application and deposit: Bangor charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this course. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: This is not a teacher training qualification. Teaching in UK state schools requires qualified teacher status obtained through a separate accredited route.
- Graduate Route: the education studies master is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. You must apply from inside the UK on a valid student visa. Students on taught courses cannot bring a spouse or children as dependants under the January 2024 rules.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.
