• This innovative MA takes a global and multi-disciplinary approach to the social study of childhood and youth (from 0-18 years).
  • Drawing on sociology, psychology, anthropology, history, philosophy, human geography, and inclusive education among others, this program will give students an understanding of the lives of children,n and young people in different social, cultural, and educational contexts around the world.
  • Students also learn more about researching with children and young people, gaining the skills and knowledge to research a range of different settings.
  • During the program, they will choose one or two optional modules directly related to childhood studies. If they decide to take only one, they will choose another module from the Faculty of Social Sciences to suit their interests and career plans – with options from racism and ethnicity studies to aspects of international educational management.
  • Throughout the course, they will be building your research skills and gaining a broad base of knowledge. Students put this to the test in their dissertation, when they complete an independent piece of research on a related topic of their choice by the end of the program1.
