About the course

This course will provide you with a comprehensive grounding in woman and child abuse studies, including theory, research, policy and practice.

　　The MA course content covers all forms of violence against women and child abuse, including sexual violence, domestic violence, sexual exploitation, trafficking and harmful practices. Reflecting the work of the Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit, a specialist research unit, the degree focuses on what we know about these forms of abuse, the contexts in which they occur and the connections between them. While the main focus will be on the UK, intellectual, policy and practice approaches from across the globe will be discussed.

　　You'll find the course content to be cross-disciplinary, mainly drawing on sociology and including social policy, criminology and psychology. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
