Education, Policy & Society

For all those who teach, lecture or organise educational provision at any level. To enable professionals concerned with education to reflect on their practice and to inform such reflection by extending their knowledge. Students will be made aware of significant current developments in contemporary pedagogical policy and practice.

This programme forms part of our department's successful modular MA programme which has been running for over a decade. An interdisciplinary programme, it draws on sociology, political science, economics, history and contemporary policy- making to address the challenge of education policy and provision. You will consider educational policy and process in relation to issues of race, social class, gender as well as changes such as globalisation and new managerialism. It also provides an opportunity for policy text analysis and comparative policy study.
