Master of Arts [M.A] [Childhood and Youth Studies] From Manchester Metropolitan University

The full time MA Childhood and Youth Studies is normally timetabled for teaching on two days a week (currently Tuesdays and Thursdays), with additional independent, guided study requirements.Ê As well as (30 credit) taught units of study, this course also provides opportunities to gain practice experience in UK educational contexts (via optional unit choice), and every student undertakes a (60 credit) dissertation, allowing in-depth and extended study in an area of interest and relevance.

They welcome applications from non-EU internationals who are supported at every stage by MMU International.

In term one, students undertake two core units. The unit ?International Comparisons of Childhoods? examines how children and young people are shaped and regulated by the opportunities that are available to them in their communities. By looking at the different opportunities afforded to children across societies we are able to reflect more objectively on our those offered by our own. ÊThe unit ?Introduction to Educational and Social Research Design is interconnected with the other full time Masters awards in theÊPostgraduate Research in Education, Community and SocietyÊprogramme and enables, from the outset, a consideration of the ways in which knowledge is generated in the field of childhood and youth studies.
