Our International Child Rights and Development MA is a multidisciplinary course designed to promote a rigorous academic approach to contemporary issues of childhood internationally. Underpinned by a childrens rights framework, it will help you develop the skills needed for successful multi-agency and multi-professional work and research with and for children in complex contexts.

Key benefits

  • Multidisciplinary approach.
  • Covers latest developments in issues that affect childhood globally.
  • Taught by a wide range of external expert speakers, as well as our own staff, from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds.
  • Provides the opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences with students from different disciplines.

Course essentials:

Our multidisciplinary course encourages you to take a rigorous academic and analytical approach to issues of contemporary childhood. It is relevant for anyone working or intending to work with, or on behalf of, children and young people internationally and particularly those working or aspiring to work in the humanitarian sector overseas or in statutory or voluntary services in the UK. While underpinned by a childrens rights perspective, we draw on a range of disciplines including sociology and public policy, psychology, education, health and law. We adapt the curriculum and teaching to take account of contemporary global events of significance to the lives of children and young people. Assignments allow students to tailor the programme to their own interests to a significant extent.

Careers:

Employability

In addition to progressing to Ph.D. study, our graduates are using the skills and knowledge they developed over this course in organisations such as UNICEF, World Vision, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, Children and Families Across Borders, and DG ECHO (the Humanitarian Aid arm of the EU).
