MA Education Studies

Course Overview

The program will draw on the wider professional experiences that students may have of working in contexts where educational approaches are important. These may include experiences such as employment in youth work, sports coaching with young people, working for charities with children and young people to provide learning opportunities in this country or internationally. This MA will cover critical social and educational theories and perspectives, as well as policy and practice relevant to global and local educational contexts. It will support you to achieve a critical awareness and understanding of education in its broadest sense as a process of human learning and development in and for human society. You will benefit greatly from engaging with the insights, experiences, and perspectives of your peers who may come from a diverse range of contexts, backgrounds, and experiences. These insights combined with your own experiences and the theory gained from the modules will allow you to deepen your understanding of working with children and young people and of education in its broadest sense.
