Modern society demands deeper expertise in issues of race, inequality and injustice. The Race, Ethnicity and Postcolonial Studies MA is an opportunity to gain an education in this field, while acquiring critical, theoretical and methodological skills. Taught by renowned scholars, including those from the UCL Sarah Parker Remond Centre for the Study of Racism and Racialisation, you’ll gain important knowledge applicable to a variety of careers.
The Race, Ethnicity and Postcolonial Studies MA addresses some of the most urgent and painful questions of our time. Students learn through engagement with a range of critical, theoretical and methodological tools, always returning to the core questions of the study of racism: what is it to be human and what do humans owe each other? You will be encouraged and enabled to unpack and interpret these questions through a range of approaches, including work on economic crises, the remaking of states and nations, climate catastrophe, bodies and health, political philosophy and the terrible histories of racial violence and expropriation.
A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.
