Master of Arts - Social Justice and Globalisation in Education

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. This popular course will be of interest if students are seeking work in educational settings or the wider workforce involving children, young people, and individuals from marginalised groups, such as social/community support services and charity
