The aim of this module is to enable you to develop knowledge and understanding in research design. The focus will be on an area of practice within your discipline which will allow you to identify an area of study that will assist in the development of new knowledge and ultimately enhance your own personal and professional development. You will learn to design and plan an effective research project and evaluate its potential impact and innovative solutions for an area of practice. This module will provide you with a working knowledge of the principles and practice of research design so that you are equipped to plan and undertake independent research at advanced level.

The purpose of this module is to critically appraise issues around social justice, equality and inequality in society with a focus on your specific disciplinary areas (Early Years, Health and Social Care, Youth and Community Studies). Areas of difference such as gender, disability, race, class and identity will be explored. The module will also examine policies and strategies that are proposed and adopted to handle issues of difference in community, care and educational settings.
