Postgraduate
Postgraduate study in Citizenship Education
Is this course for
me?
The course has been
developed specifically for those teaching citizenship and for those in
supporting roles, e.g. school advisers, educational consultants and
administrators. The intercultural approach is relevant to any national
or international context of civics or citizenship education, and we
have had students from all five continents.
You will learn from
your fellow students and personal tutor, and gain the confidence to
put your new ideas into practice. You will need access to a school or
educational setting in order to undertake some of the tasks from the
course and evaluate practice.
If you have gained
credit from another Master’s programme, you may be eligible for
exemption from one of our modules.
Comprehensive study

Environment (VLE) and will be guided through your study materials by

the OLE with your tutor and other students. To find out more about
