Course Description

The MA in Childhood Studies addresses the span of childhood from birth to the age of 12. The course is designed to provide an excellent grounding for those wishing to pursue, or develop further, their skills and careers as practitioners or researchers working with children and young people or providing services for them.

Through the course we explore alternative conceptions of childhood and consider children’s lives and experiences through the social, economic, technological and global contexts in which they are situated. We also explore the expanding role of services for children and young people, the challenges this provides for practitioners and policy makers and the ways in which these services position children and their families.
