Academic title MA Inclusive Studies
Course description An Inclusive environment is now an identified expectation for all organisations, as well as an aspiration for society as a whole. A sound evaluative understanding of Social Inclusion and its implications for people, organisations and society is a desirable and vital asset for anyone seeking a career in the public services, voluntary sector or private industry.

The Master in Inclusive Studies is an exciting development in response to the growing inclusion agenda, and is prescient in anticipating the continuing centrality of Social Inclusion in policy and practice. As Social Inclusion has become a field within academia, there is a recognition of the underlying body of theory from which it arose; namely social policy, sociology and psychology. This Master’s Programme will extend professional knowledge and understanding through the use of compulsory module choices throughout. This foundation will both drive intellectual engagement with the nature and complexity of Inclusive Studies.

In Part I each module will develop key knowledge and skills in areas including research methods, psychology, reflective practice, sociology, and social policy. Part II of the programme is the dissertation element which will allow students to focus on one key element identified during the taught component of the masters and extend their knowledge through research.
