On the Citizenship Education MA, you will explore key educational, political and philosophical debates that shape citizenship education in schools, colleges and related educational settings. The course encourages critical examination of the theories, policies and practices that influence citizenship education in diverse national and international contexts, including issues of democracy, participation, identity, social justice and public dialogue. It develops theoretically informed and evidence-based perspectives on citizenship education policy, provision and professional practice through critical reflection, engagement with research and independent inquiry.
Teaching and assessment activities enable you to apply theory and research to educational policy and practice. Through essays, reflective assignments, research activities and discussion-based learning, you will critically analyse contemporary issues in citizenship education and, where appropriate, explore innovative approaches to practice in educational and community settings.
The course encourages wide engagement with specialist literature in citizenship education and education studies more broadly, alongside internationally recognised scholarship and current research in the field. It prepares you to contribute thoughtfully and critically to ongoing discussions about the purposes, practices and future development of citizenship education. If you already hold PGCE Master’s-level credits you may be eligible to reduce the total cost and duration of study through the recognition of prior learning, subject to UCL regulations. This option is normally available for up to five years following completion of the PGCE. For further information, please contact Qasir Shah at [email protected].
