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. advisers and NGO workers. 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.
The programme builds
on the UK DfES Certificate of Teaching of Citizenship.
Those who complete this certificate gain automatic exemption from one
optional module.
