About Children's Rights, MSc - at Queen's University Belfast

This programme meets the increasing demand for a postgraduate qualification in Children's Rights, explicitly focused on interdisciplinary research and child rights-based research methods. The programme aims to provide high-level knowledge and skills in children's rights law and practice of value to those working with and for children, including public officials and NGOs as well as educators, social workers and health care providers. The programme will develop your expertise in two distinct but interconnected areas: Children's Rights - using the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and other relevant international standards to evaluate the laws, policies and practices which affect children Research with Children - evaluating the best methods of conducting research into children's lives with a particular focus on approaches which involve children actively in the research process. The course will provide you with a thorough grounding in these two areas and the opportunity to explore a range of contexts in which these perspectives can be used to better understand children's lives and secure improved outcomes for children. Closing date for applications: Friday 29 July 2022 at 4pm. Our educational research has been ranked 4th within the UK in relation to research intensity with 87% assessed as 'internationally excellent or world leading' (REF, 2014).
