Introduction to the Module

The focus of this module is on changing global patterns in the way that education systems are being regulated, and in different populations’ participation in education systems. The changes that education is experiencing as a conceptual space, as systems and institutions, and as individuals’ everyday experiences, demand a contemporary approach to the study of education for practice as well as purely academic purposes.

Students on the MA GEID and other CES programmes will take the 30 CATS variant of this module. Students from other departments can take the module as 20 CATS.
