Since 2003 a two-year, part-time Master of Science (MSc) in Education and Training Management (eLearning) has been offered by Dublin City University (DCU). The programme is inquiry-based and practice-led, which enables students to contribute to change in work practices and social situations. This study reports on the professional and personal impact of the MSc. An online survey was developed, the purpose of which was to examine reasons for applying to the programme and the impact of the programme on past participants’ professional and personal lives. The main findings suggest that the principal reason students apply to the MSc is for career progression. Upon completing the programme, the evidence shows that participants have been effective in progressing in their careers due to the skills and insights gained. Participants have actively influenced, shaped and improved their workplaces. A notable finding from this research highlights the level of personal growth experienced by participants.
