Educational Leadership (International) MBA

This programme is for senior leaders in education in all phases of provision, from pre-school settings through to those working at the tertiary level, as well as those with a system-wide role.

I knew that studying the Educational Leadership (International) at IOE would allow me to remain competitive when applying for headship and inform my career choices for a long time to come. I couldn't think of a better place to learn than with the energetic and innovative faculty that I have met at UCL, which has a reputation for the highest standards and is at the forefront for educational developments. Successfully moving into headship has proved that I was right in the first place.
