Core modules:

Introduction to Postgraduate Study of Childhood, Education and Family Support

Alongside those on other MA programmes, you will develop the foundations of Level 7 academic knowledge and skills, critically reflecting across both academic and professional contexts. You will learn about theoretical underpinnings, competing frameworks and approaches, and the implications for ethical and effective practice.

Research Methods for Childhood, Education and Family Support

You'll focus on research methods appropriate to the broad and complex field of childhood and education, culminating in the construction of your own fully justified research proposal.

You’ll develop a deep knowledge and understanding of diverse societies and the impact of marginalisation. You will apply critical analysis to modes of oppressive practice within a range of social, cultural and economic situations.

Dissertation or Major Study
