In addition to the five compulsory modules, choose three optional modules and a dissertation topic to explore your interests. Modules are taught by an interdisciplinary team. Join the International Education and Lifelong Learning Institute community of practitioners and interact with students from a diverse range of nationalities and backgrounds. Study modules in the applied management and organisational behaviour aspects of leading an organisation, as well as modules related to teaching and learning. Discuss theoretical concepts and frameworks and apply these through assessments, in small groups, and in writing in weekly online discussion forums. There is no 'live' teaching so you can study in your own time, to suit your own lifestyle and commitments. Attend an optional two-week summer school in St Andrews focusing on dissertation preparation, and providing the opportunity to experience living and studying in St Andrews. Conduct original research supported by experts within the Institute.
