Program details

Overview

Full-time study at the Faculty of Education underpins this master's, which gives an introduction to research skills as well as specialist knowledge about the ways power, politics and disputed forms of knowledge shape education. It asks what part education plays in society, how international debates treat the creation and circulation of knowledge, and what all this implies for social justice. Education is considered as it appears around the world, under rival agendas. Among the main aims are an examination of the theoretical frameworks used to study education, training in research methods appropriate to it, and the growth of independent, original research. Entry to a PhD afterwards requires its own application.
