The Diploma permits learners a greater degree of choice and specialisation and forms a bridge to the MSc where learners can pursue an educational research topic relevant to their own work place and academic interests. These stages are aimed at those with a developing interest in teaching, learning and assessment, and may be specialising or taking senior roles in educational practice, management and/or research.
