Course Overview

Our MSc Education, Power, and Social Change, where we explore the links between education (all forms of informal and formal learning, across all age ranges, including adult, higher and professional education), and social and political movements, and develop understandings of how 'education' as a contested field should be viewed within a globalized and postcolonial context. This degree will appeal to you if you are interested in developing and extending your knowledge and understanding of education and social change. Studying this course may also contribute to your professional development. In previous years, some students have used the qualification to take their careers in new directions, while others have used the program to deepen their thinking about their current practice. Graduates go into careers in teaching and training, youth work, education policy, and in community and voluntary sector organizations. Possible professions include community education officer, education administrator, or youth worker. This degree can also be useful in becoming a career adviser or community development worker.
