As a student on the course you will build on your knowledge of applied approaches to promoting well-being and social change. Focusing on participation, empowerment and critical reflexivity, you will develop your skills through an action-oriented research framework that involves different stakeholders collaboratively investigating the practical problems experienced inlocal communities and organisations. Moreover you will have the opportunity to undertake research methods training in established and innovative modes of enquiry that allow the key research values of participation and social change to be explored within relevant applied contexts. Specifically the course will appeal to students with an interest in topics such as social inequalities, marginalisation, mental health, human rights, environmentalism and social movements. The courses will be of particular use for those working in statutory and voluntary sector agencies and can be taken as a post graduate Certificate, Diploma or Masters.
