You will benefit from their range and depth of knowledge covering areas such as gender, migration and development, globalisation, social class, disability and digitally-mediated environments.As part of a dynamic group of international students, all of whom are invested in education and social justice but have unique perspectives and specific interests, you will be studying in a very inclusive and supportive learning environment that’s also interactive and sociable.

Our MA in Education and Social Justice provides a potential route to our highly successful PhD in Education and Social Justice, as well as leading to career change or progression for professional practitioners. It carries the same prestigious academic recognition as traditionally-delivered programmes.
