Study Details: MA 1 year full-time
Gain a deep insight into the concepts of international education and globalisation, with a focus on how they intersect and interact.
Education is increasingly influenced by globalisation. We live in more and more connected world, with a mobile and interlinked population. Because of this, education needs to evolve to meet the needs an interconnected society.
Education in a global context
Throughout this course, you’ll focus on education in a global context, looking beyond borders and regions. You’ll explore the growing trends and contradictions concerning international education. This will develop your understanding of how globalisation influences education policy and practice.
You’ll consider the relationship between globalisation and international education, and how this is affected by the roles of culture and by issues of inequality, sustainability and social justice.
Your studies will culminate in a final project. During this you will be supported by your supervisor to design and conduct a small-scale empirical or literature-based research project in the field of international education. The empirical project may be undertaken with an external institution or organisation (if one is available) to address a relevant challenge they face.
Throughout the course, you will be supported to develop academic skills and receive pastoral support.
By the end of your studies, you’ll be better equipped to educate emerging generations who will live in new and diverse communities.
