This MSc will equip you with conceptual and practical skills for conducting and appraising systematic reviews and evaluating the potential for and implementation of evidence-informed policy. Students can learn at a distance using a combination of online group and individual activities. You will receive support from experienced course tutors at mutually arranged times and written feedback on draft work. Students carry out activities at their own pace and at times of their own choosing, but are asked to complete specified tasks to set deadlines.
A number of the MSc modules are also taught using face-to-face sessions for students who prefer this style of learning. All the modules can also be taken as stand-alone courses with or without credit at Masters level. All are quality assured by the Institute of Education at the University of London.
