Graduates Celebrate Success

In November the York St John University Degree Awards Ceremonies were held in York Minster and we were very proud of all our students.  

Eleven students were awarded the degree of MA in Educational Improvement, Development and Change, two of whom attained MA with distinction and six attained MA with merit. One of our MA students also received the Postgraduate prize.

Action Research seminar

Our  MA students and Postgraduate Certificate in Early Years students took part in a seminar on action research with Professor Jean McNiff as part of their semester one modules.  

Professor McNiff is internationally known for her work and publications on action research and it was a great privilege to have her input to the course. The feedback was excellent and students learnt a lot from participating in this stimulating and enjoyable seminar.

Faculty welcomes new appointment

A warm welcome is extended to our colleague Heather Elliott who will be joining the Faculty of Education and Theology  in January and will be teaching on some CPD modules including the Masters degree and Postgraduate Certificate in Early Years.
