This master's programme in Advanced Child Protection Studies is designed to develop students’ specialist knowledge within the field of child protection and safeguarding.

The programme is designed to appeal to the more experienced professional already engaged in this area of activity – for example in social work, policing, law, education, nursing and health. However, those with an academic interest in the area (for example social policy, law or criminology graduates) are also encouraged to apply, subject to being able to satisfy the requirements of the various modules.

The course is taught by experienced practitioners and experts in the field and will provide you with the opportunity to focus on specific areas of interest. We have pathways for students wanting to focus on UK/English child protection and safeguarding work and students wanting to focus on international child protection work. There are four 30-credit modules which can be taken on a part-time or full-time basis. There is also a dissertation for those taking the MSc.

The programme is a online distance learning programme, which combines innovative learning and teaching techniques with interaction with the tutor and fellow students. Not only are students provided with high quality teaching, but they have the additional benefit of having the flexibility to study anywhere at any time. No specialist knowledge in technology is required, you will just need to have access to the internet and know how to use it. Learning activities are structured to provide simplicity and you will be supported throughout the programme.
