Guangzhou IB Primary School, Baiyun Guangzhou

I was motivated to take the MA Transformative Education and PGCE through Leeds Beckett University because I wanted to develop my academic understanding of education alongside my practical teaching skills. The course aligned closely with my career goals by preparing me to become a confident, reflective and inclusive teacher, while allowing me to continue my professional development through flexible online study. 


When I enrolled, I hoped to gain the knowledge, confidence and qualifications needed to progress into teaching, and to understand how education can transform learners’ lives. The course has helped me connect educational theory with classroom practice and has supported my personal and professional growth. 


Overall, the resources and guidance were very helpful, although additional assignment examples, informal discussion opportunities and further advice on managing the workload could be beneficial. The support from the course team has been excellent, particularly from Meri, Steve and Fiona, who have been amazing throughout the programme. 


Their encouragement, expertise and willingness to help have made a significant difference to my experience. I would definitely recommend this course to others because it offers a valuable combination of academic study, professional development and practical teaching experience, supported by a flexible online format and a dedicated team.

I enrolled in the MA in Education (Leadership and Management) to advance my career in international schools. I wanted a firm grounding in leadership theory alongside the practical skills to lead teams, manage change and introduce new practices, and the emphasis on global perspectives and cross-cultural competence suited me. The structure is strong and the diverse cohort was one of the best parts, since it meant exchanging ideas and practice from very different systems. If I could add one thing, it would be more formal mentoring with experienced school leaders to sit alongside the academic work. I would recommend it to anyone aiming at leadership in international education.
