This Masters programme offers a European dimension to academic study and research, giving students the opportunity to work together across international borders. It is currently a collaborative programme between three Universities (Warwick, Amsterdam and Wolverhampton). From January 2007 it is expected that a further 2 European universities will join the programme, with several more joining the following year, thus increasing the opportunities for student collaboration.
Each participating University has its own degree in leadership at Masters Level and has identified a specific module within its MA programme as a dedicated iNET component. This component will focus on leadership, innovation and development in schools.
The outcome of the module will be an assignment based upon an international comparison, which is then assessed in the home University. Students will complete this international comparative study by firstly identifying an international partner from one of the institutions participating in the programme and then linking with their partner through a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
Students are also invited to attend a yearly summer school to meet professors and students studying at other universities, and to share new ideas with each other.

The MA is a collaborative course between the Universities of Warwick, Amsterdam and Wolverhampton. The lead academics on the current programme are Professor Alma Harris (Warwick), Professor Meta Kruger (Amsterdam) and Professor Sir Geoff Hampton (Wolverhampton). It is anticipated that the number of participating Universities will rise, increasing European engagement and expanding the opportunities for student collaboration.
In November 2006, 14 European Universities attended the inaugural iNet European Masters meeting at the Danish University of Education in Copenhagen. We are very grateful to Professor Leif Moos for his hospitality in hosting the meeting, which was a huge success.
As a resuIt of the meeting, it is anticipated that two further Universities will join iNet and the Masters programme in January. Other Universities will then embark on the programme in 2007/2008, and it is hoped to extend the Masters beyond Europe in 2008/9. Further details of the institutions that are currently involved in the development and delivery of the MA programme, and those that attended the first meeting will be added to these pages in due course.
To become an iNet Europe Masters institution your University must have its own degree in leadership at Masters Level. You must also be able to identify a specific module within your MA programme as a dedicated or 'ring-fenced' iNet component. The content and focus of this module will be leadership, innovation and development in schools.
