Education, Policy & Society

Meg Maguire
Education, Policy & Society MA
The courses that I lead offer students an opportunity to read, reflect and conduct research into an aspect of educational policy and provision that they are curious about and want to explore in more detail. Our courses offer students particular insights into a sociologically, historically and policy-oriented approach towards education provision.



I completed an MA and a PhD at King’s and have a great fondness for the College. As an alumni, I can testify to the rigour of the courses. As a tutor and researcher, I can also testify to the quality of the library provision and other facilities that are essential to the development of critical scholarship.



Some of our students already work in educational settings as teachers, lecturers, administrators and policy workers. Other students follow our courses with the intention of doing further study or moving into or on in their educational careers. Whether you already work in education or are simply fascinated by studying one of the key welfare provisions that any country makes, we hope that if you choose to join us in the department, that your time will become an enriching investment into your personal and professional development. I know it was for me!
