Confronting prejudice, disadvantage and oppression faced in educational and community contexts. The course, which is broad in its scope focuses on a range of education, social and welfare issues affecting children, young people, and marginalised adults, is concerned with providing educational content that improves the life chances, wellbeing, and attainment of individuals. There is a strong ethos of social justice and globalisation to the course. Consideration is given to sociological and philosophical perspectives about the purpose of education, who benefits from it and how it can mitigate social inequalities. This perspective is developed nationally, motivated by the increasing independence of schools and internationally, particularly in developing countries, motivated by globalisation. As the course attracts a rich diversity of both home and international students, a powerful and stimulating learning community is created.
