Aims of the courseThe course is unique among Masters in the field of community development in concentrating on the integration of policy, evidence based methods, and management. The focus is consistently on community development as a strategy rather than the operation of large organisations. The course builds on London Metropolitan's experience of running programmes for refugee organisations, examining and building on the analysis of the skills of refugees and the job opportunities that are available for them. The course will enable graduates to bring their knowledge and skills to bear on:
The course is also relevant and appropriate to people not currently specifically working with refugees both because the skills and knowledge learned on the course is based on more general theory and practice and because all organisations and community development workers need to have competences that equip them to work inclusively with all sections of the community. Entry requirementsThe minimum entry requirement will normally be a lower second class Honours degree or equivalent. Applicants will also be considered who have extensive relevant work experience. Before entry applicants will generally be asked to submit a short piece of written work to demonstrate their study skills and ability to reflect on their experience. Course structureThe course consists of six essential modules and a dissertation of 15,000 words. The core modules include:
Either of both:
If students do not do both of these modules, they can choose any other further module from the postgraduate prospectus with the agreement of the course leader. AssessmentThis will include a range of methods including written reports, software projects and examination. Career opportunitiesGraduates of the course are expected to be able to develop careers in community-based organisations, particularly those supporting refugee communities, voluntary organisations, and statutory bodies in the field of community development. Most students intend to work in the UK but some students work overseas. |
