This degree is designed to give students an understanding of the role of the child’s environment through the study of the impact of the family, communities and other social networks.

The MA focuses on enabling students to reflect critically on existing knowledge. Graduates can pursue careers in psychology, health or social work, education, and policy development. Possible professions may include psychologist, counsellor, or researcher. This degree may also be useful in becoming a further education lecturer.
