The route is aimed at a wide UK and international audience including practitioners studying part-time as well as full-time students. It is of relevance and interest to teachers (i.e. middle and senior leaders, heads/principals, specialist and system leaders, governors and administrators), as well as to graduate students with the relevant career experience (see below) who are interested in the area of educational leadership and improvement. We draw on participants' wide range of experiences, and students pursue their particular interest by undertaking an individual empirical research projects.
