About the course

Our International Child Rights and Development MA is a multidisciplinary course designed to promote a rigorous academic approach to contemporary issues of childhood internationally. Underpinned by a children’s rights framework, it will help you develop the skills needed for successful multi-agency and multi-professional work and research with and for children in complex contexts.

　　Our multidisciplinary course encourages you to take a rigorous academic and analytical approach to issues of contemporary childhood. It is relevant for anyone working or intending to work with, or on behalf of, children and young people internationally and particularly those working or aspiring to work in the humanitarian sector overseas or in statutory or voluntary services in the UK. While underpinned by a children’s rights perspective, we draw on a range of disciplines including sociology and public policy, psychology, education, health and law. We adapt the curriculum and teaching to take account of contemporary global events of significance to the lives of children and young people. Assignments allow students to tailor the programme to their own interests to a significant extent. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
