COURSE OVERVIEW
What are the effects of different social and political perspectives on the role of education? How does social exclusion arise?
This postgraduate programme in education and social justice provides you with well-grounded theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of education and social justice, as well as the opportunity for a comprehensive and critical analysis of literature on education, globalisation, power and resistances.
You will assess how historical perspectives explain today's educational conditions and critically examine the extent to which globalisation affects educational development.
A significant part of this course involves conducting independent research in a field of education and social justice, where you will distinguish between qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.
We offer this course as a Master's, Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate. For the Diploma and Certificate you study fewer modules and do not complete a dissertation.
