Final year students in MA Education

MA Education students take a break from studying

Fourth year MA Education students are currently writing their extended enquiry (thesis) as part of the Research and the Teacher: Extended Professional Enquiry module. The thesis allows students to choose an educational issue which is important to them and affects the teaching profession. 

As this is a major element of final year studies, students and lecturers took some time out to connect together and have some fun - playing some fiercely competitive monopoly! and eating together in the evening. 

Lecturers at Dundee understand the importance of taking breaks when studying hard and enjoy providing opportunities to get together with their students when they can.

“It was lovely to be able to spend some time with peers and lecturers for a break in what is such a busy time for us as fourth-years. Taking what might be one of the last chances we have as a cohort to enjoy each other's company and remind ourselves how far we have all come.”
