Master of Arts in Physical Education

Program Overview

Our MA (Hons) Physical Education programme aims to develop practitioners with:

  • Professional values
  • Professional knowledge and skills
  • Their own vision for physical education

Our degree offers an excellent route into physical education careers both in the UK and abroad. After you graduate, you can register with the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).

Wherever you go on to work, our programme will leave you well-positioned to articulate, advocate and take action toward what it means to teach for a better world.
How we teach

The four principles of our degree are:

  • Applied learning
  • Opportunity
  • Connection
  • Community

You will build your knowledge, skills and vision of education in various ways, including:

  • Placements in our partner schools (and others) that offer opportunities to apply theory to practice
  • Learning underpinned by values of social justice, inclusion, sustainability and professional inquiry
  • Opportunities to take courses from across the University to broaden and develop your learning and interests
  • Connections with students in other years and on other programmes
  • Our sense of community, including good links with schools, guest lectures, awards and a peer support network

We support you to become a confident, creative, reflective practitioner.

We aim to produce graduates with a critical awareness of their own teacher identity, ready to work in 21st-century education systems.
