Why choose this course?
目前还没有在偏见和Discrim MScination in the UK that can be found. Issues of prejudice and discrimination have become increasingly prevalent within society over the last few years, and our understanding of the topic area has grown greatly; however, evidence-based exploration below research (PhD) level has been sparse, as indicated by the few courses available to specifically examine this topic area.
What you will learn
The programme of study provides students with the knowledge and critical evaluation skills desired of postgraduates in many areas of society, most notably third-sector organisations, government, and civil service at a local, national, and international level. This programme will address a topic area widely recognised at local, national, and international levels, but in an evidence-based and research-informed way that goes beyond much of the current training provided in the UK.
The programme also draws upon a number of the goals of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act (WFGA; 2015), in particular those of a more equal Wales; a globally responsible Wales; cohesive communities; and a healthier Wales.
