Jordan Carruthers – Social Sciences (International Childhood)

Whilst on my undergraduate degree, one of the modules was based heavily around international childhood. This provided me with an opportunity to look at childhood outside of the typical UK setting. From here, I was surprised to see that Edge Hill offered the postgraduate degree MA Social Sciences (International Childhood) which focused primarily on this area and so I applied for the postgraduate degree.

The application process was really easy. Looking at the course in greater detail and the perks of what already being an Edge Hill student had to offer, I choose Edge Hill to do my postgraduate degree but decided to live in Liverpool and commute in which was a great experience as Liverpool is a city that has loads to offer. In terms of the application process and interviews, both went smoothly, and I heard back within a short amount of time.

The course is comprised of seven modules, one being your dissertation and another being an international field trip. The five key modules cover a range of topics, including: migration, children’s rights, anthropology, politics, culture, children’s health, methodologies and social theory.
