MA Child, Family and Community Studies
Development worker, local
childcare resource service.
'I gained insight and a different perspective on
the theoretical background to the work I have
done and am doing. It also helped me step out of
my comfort zone and try something new. I really
enjoyed the programme. The subject areas are
diverse giving a broad range of information. I
really enjoyed the discussions in class. There was
good direction to relevant readings'.
The programme is a taught modularised
programme, delivered in semesters of 15
weeks duration. It is offered in both full-time
and part-time modes. Students may take the
taught programme on a full-time basis over two
semesters and complete a dissertation in the third
semester. Part-time students complete coursework
over four semesters and complete adissertation in
the fifth semester.
Many participants on the MA in Child, Family
and Community Studies already have practice
experience and use the MA to develop their
careers in different directions or to move in to
management roles. Graduates have gone on to
work in a variety of sectors including development
and policy work in social care, early childhood
education and the voluntary care sector. It is not
necessary to have prior professional experience,
however, to find the programme beneficial for
career development.
