ماذا سوف أتعلم؟
This MA, grounded in the values of equity, empowerment, participation, social justice, and sustainability, allows you to deepen your understanding of theories and practices for promoting education, health, and wellbeing in low- and middle-income countries. You will develop new ways to analyse, evaluate, and generate knowledge in educational contexts to advance health and wellbeing. The course can be taken on campus, online, or in a blended format (on campus and online). Through this distinctive MA you will develop new ways of understanding, analysing, evaluating and creating knowledge related to promoting health and wellbeing through educational contexts. By the end of the course, and through ongoing engagement with classes, with tutors and with your co-students, you should be able to: Analyse the latest academic and other sources of information to generate new insights into promoting education, health and wellbeing. Understand how policy development, programming and professional practice can work in partnership with children, young people, adults and communities to promote wellbeing. Evaluate critically a range of sources of information - including generative AI - for research and preparation of individual and group-based assignments. Apply ethical and research frameworks to make an original and critical research contribution to the field on an educational- and wellbeing-related issue of relevance to you (within a low/middle income country context). We welcome applications from those with backgrounds in one or more of these areas: health, education, health promotion, arts and humanities, anthropology, psychology, sociology (and social sciences in general), nursing, medicine (and allied health professions), as well as in social development in low- or middle-income countries. Applications are encouraged from those with substantial experience in low- and middle-income countries, as well as those with minimal experience in these country settings but who would like to extend and deepen their understanding of research, policy and practice in these contexts. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
