MA Childhood, Youth and Family Studies

... United Kingdom
... University of Bedfordshire

Course Overview

The course provides a broad level of understanding relevant to areas such as early years; nursery worker or manager; family support worker or manager; child protection; and pastoral support roles in primary education.

You start by studying core areas, looking at the range of experiences children, young people and families may have; how professionals involved may be best placed to respond; effective and ethical practice; and the relevant theoretical frameworks that underpin practice. You can then follow your interests with a choice of optional units while building your research skills in preparation for your final research project.

To apply for a postgraduate degree (MA/MSc/MBA/LLM) at the University of Bedfordshire you should have a good honours degree (or equivalent qualification) in an appropriate subject from a recognised university or HE institution.
