Bilingualism Education and Society MA

OVERVIEW

We've designed this course for practitioners who are interested in how bilingualism and multilingualism relates to their professional context. This includes professionals and leaders who might be working, or volunteering, in education, health, social welfare and care, community, and other settings, across the public, private, voluntary or social enterprise sectors.

You’ll think deeply about your own professional context and settings, your role and place within this, and the possibilities for development, change and generating practice knowledge and innovations.

Through our course, you might explore policy perspectives on issues related to bilingualism in the UK and globally. You may look at English as an Additional Language (EAL), and migration and ethnic diversity in schools and the wider society. Or, you might be interested in unpicking media representations of diversity and the foundations of bilingual development.

CAREER PROSPECTS

We encourage you to apply your new thinking to practice and carry these creative, innovative approaches forward.

This helps you to develop your skills as a systematic, evidence-driven practitioner.

This course also offers a solid foundation to continue your studies by pursuing a research degree (MPhil, EdD or PhD). Students will also achieve PgCert and PgDip awards during this course.
