Course summary
About the course
This course aims to further develop your professional knowledge and understandings in specific areas of education and welfare.
It is based upon a critical concern for social justice and the ways this is understood and implemented through policy and practice to affect the lives of disadvantaged children and young people as well as poor and marginalised groups and communities.
The MA Education (Social Justice) aims to:
- Increase awareness of, and access to, a range of academic ideas and research findings in relation to issues of education and social justice
- Promote personalisation of broad themes around the challenges posed by changing global political, social and economic landscapes and to meet the needs and interests of students while providing a focused line of study
- Promote vocationally relevant and varied assessment formats with a negotiated focus to support individual and organisational needs
- Promote engagement with key issues in education and social justice, involving critical examination of a wide range of key sources and texts
- Encourage evidence-based practice and reflexive practice-based understandings through engagement with work-based settings allowing student to integrate theoretical ideas with practical implications.
Why choose this course?
The MA in Education (Social Justice) is designed to develop a breadth of understanding of the theoretical debates that underpin the process and practice of education and social welfare and will enable you to analyse and reflect on research that contextualise the complexities of working with disadvantaged and marginalised groups across community, local authority and voluntary sector settings.
The course will strengthen your ability, and equip you to apply for jobs (or further training) in a wide range of educational settings as teachers, community workers, social workers, police, probation officers, education welfare workers, home school link or family welfare workers and professionals working across the voluntary sector.
This Master's degree will also enable you to progress to doctoral study in specific specialist areas.
How will I be assessed?
You will complete a range of assessments, many of which you can tailor to your existing or developing interests and experience.
You will do a number of oral presentations, which not only improve your ability to present information in a professional and coherent way but also enable the sharing of research and experience amongst the group. One unit also includes a debate as part of the assessment.
Written assessments include case studies, essays and literature reviews.
You will develop your research skills throughout the course and apply them to a final dissertation.
