Educational Policy & Reform

    I'm trying to find an MA/MSc where I can get into the area of Educational Policy and Reform, funding, economics, etc. Can anyone recommend a way into a career like this?

    Bear in mind I have a 2.2 in Business. I've always been interested in the area of Social Entrepreneurship and have scored very highly in this. My primary interest is in Education Reform as I've always felt ranks in society are still divided (on a national scale as well as international). I have traced the internet and cannot come up with the most suitable course of action - please help!

    Also - I would absolutely consider travelling abroad to get educated in this.

    You could look at an MA in education. I took policy as a module as part of my own studies (I'm doing and EdD, but we took MA modules). You could potentially do your thesis in that area. You don't need an education background, my background is in IT/Computer Science.

    I'm doing mine in the UK. PM me if you want more details.

    Your other option would be to look at social policy courses, and then focus your dissertation on education policy.
