Programa

An innovative feature is the consideration of the role of science education in ESDGC. However, a strong scientific background is not essential for this pathway, as it’s the role of science education and implications of a lack of basic scientific literacy that are the focus of this aspect of the course. The impacts of politics and ethical thinking on Scientific Development and Global Citizenship issues are also considered.

In common with all of the MA Education programmes, you must take the core module Research Methodology. In addition, you will study two further compulsory modules:

Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship*
You will consider and analyse the concept of citizenship, from its beginnings in the ancient world to the present day. You will look at the rights and responsibilities of a citizen and the processes of globalisation. An overview of conservation theory, principles and practice will be provided including scientific and ethical bases. You will consider alternative, conflicting attitudes to the environment and case studies to exemplify scientific uncertainty of cause and effect, eg, resource depletion, global climate change and biodiversity. The module will seek to define social and environmental problems within a global context, analysing poverty both locally and globally, including case studies of the abuse of human rights in the world today.
Collaborative or individual professional project
Building on your knowledge and experience from the first module, you will undertake an ESDGC project supported by your tutor. This will involve an introduction to research approaches built upon in later modules.

You will then select one other relevant module from within the MA Education Programme.

To complete the full MA you will present a 17,000 word research dissertation and a 3,000 word research dissemination plan.

Learning and teaching methods
Statistical analyses are an integral component of most Masters and professional research programmes. There is the opportunity to gain experience of these using professional statistical tools and software throughout the Masters programme.
