CERCular: No.2 of 1998

M.Ed in Comparative Education


Graduates in M.Ed (Comparative Education)

Students in the first cohort of the M.Ed (Comparative Education) course have come to the end of their programme. CERC congratulates them on successful completion of the course. They studied for two years, part time, commencing in 1996.

For many participants, the dissertation, which occupied most of the second year, was the most demanding part. However, it also gave the most satisfaction. Each student can proudly point to a coherent piece of work which contains originality and substance. The dissertations have now been bound and placed in the university library. Titles are as follows:
