Global and Inclusive Education Issues (30 credits)
This module explores the changing world of education in the context of social, political, economic and cultural globalisation. You will learn about how globally inclusive education has been positioned and promoted as a positive reaction to segregated schooling, inequality and prejudice. It reflects on the 'nature' of international identity, both for teachers and students, and critically explores what 'international' means, educationally, in this context. This module offers insights into many different aspects of inclusive education within a global policy discourse.

Qualitative and Quantitative Methodologies in Social Science (30 credits)
Qualitative and Quantitative Methodologies offers a comprehensive introduction to key research methods in the social sciences. You will explore the theoretical foundations, strengths, and limitations of each approach, gaining hands-on experience with data collection, analysis, and interpretation techniques. Sessions cover survey design, statistical analysis, interviews, focus groups, and thematic coding. Emphasis is placed on integrating methodological approaches to address complex social phenomena, enabling you to develop the skills necessary for conducting robust, rigorous research in diverse social science contexts.

You will choose one of the following optional modules.

Dissertation (60 credits)
The dissertation module provides students the opportunity to carry out and write up an original piece of research at Masters level. Students will draw on the knowledge they developed in the Research Methods module, as well as knowledge and skills gained in other modules, to conduct their research. The project could be empirical, ‘text-based’ or a combination of both approaches. Candidates will design and undertake their project in close collaboration with their supervisor and submit a 15,000-18,000 word dissertation upon completion.

Placement (60 credits)
This module offers an educational work-based professional experience through a three-month placement in either primary or secondary school. During the placement, students will observe practitioners in the education workplace. They will work with their assigned school-based mentor to identify educational topics that their placement school would like them to research and plan the scope and nature of research evidence that will need to be collected to research these topics. The students will subsequently develop and conduct a small research project on a topic chosen by their placement school, following the 'Spiral of Enquiry' methodology.
