MA Professional Practice in Education at Bath Spa University

Entry requirements

You'll usually have a good first degree, however we often accept applicants with sufficient relevant experience. English language requirements If English isn't your first language, you'll need to provide evidence of proficiency in English. We're looking for an IELTS score of 6.0-7.0 with a minimum of 5.5 in each component (Writing, Listening, Reading and Speaking). We assess applications individually. How to apply You can also apply for the three-year version of this course. The MA Professional Practice is an opportunity for applicants with a Level 7 PGCE to use the credits towards a full MA. Accreditation of Prior certificated Learning (APL) can be offered if you have successfully completed previous Level 7 modules at another university. We accept APL for our PG Dip or Master’s qualifications. As a guide, up to a maximum of 60 credits may be credited towards a Master’s Degree and 60 credits towards a PG Dip. We will require a full transcript from the awarding university. It is also possible to gain accreditation for other kinds of professional developments by compiling an independent study portfolio of professional development (APEL – Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning). For further information about gaining credits in this way please contact [email protected]. APL only applies if the credits were gained within five years of the start of your MA studies.
