- MA in Foresight and Futures Studies
The MA in Foresight and Futures Studies
Course Aim
To develop critically informed futures perspectives and capabilities in foresight to enable you to become
a more effective actor in a rapidly changing environment.
Course Objectives
To develop the ability to manage more effectively the opportunities and problems of a diverse and changing
world through:
a range of skills in foresight and futures research methods;
the critical understanding of change;
the analysis of the relationship between present decisions and future consequences;
the construction and critical assessment of alternative futures;
the critical appraisal of current concerns for the future as seen from diverse perspectives;
and an in depth understanding of a particular area of concern for the future to an advanced level.
Course Content
Core Modules
Four core modules are intended to define and consolidate the intellectual and academic philosophy
of the course. The Introduction to Foresight and Futures
Studies provides a firm grounding in the Futures approach through:
an analysis of the various strands of the field in practice and academe;
an examination of the historical development of Futures;
discussion of some of the issues raised by Foresight activity;
and an examination of the writings of major authors in the field.
Issues for the Future offers a broad perspective of concerns that have potential importance for the
future and an opportunity to begin a more detailed analysis of a
particular issue. Methods of Foresight and Futures Studies provides an overview of the range of methods
and techniques available and an opportunity to develop
abilities in selected areas. Futures Dilemmas involves an in depth examination of the theoretical and
ethical issues raised by the future and human responsibility
for it.
Electives
The two elective modules offer you the opportunity to explore or develop your own personal, professional
or vocational interests in Foresight within the framework of
a defined field of study. The electives may be selected from the M level modules offered by the University
or undertaken as a learning contract.
Dissertation
The Dissertation is regarded as the culmination of the educational experience provided by the course
in which you apply the understanding and skills developed in
the core to a detailed study of an area of specific concern. Where appropriate this may draw on and
develop work already undertaken during the electives and
issues of direct relevance to your own activities. Alternative forms and methods of presentation will
be encouraged where they are appropriate to the circumstances
or topic studied.
Study Programme
The course requires attendance at three 2 day sessions per 15 week semester, with an additional induction
session at the commencement of your studies. Taking
place approximately once a month the sessions will be scheduled from Friday mid-morning to Saturday
late afternoon. These sessions will provide the opportunity
for formal lectures by members of the course team and visiting speakers and discussion with your fellow
students. Throughout the course you will be part of a
learning group for the exchange of ideas and experiences with staff and students both during and between
the sessions. The Course Team are currently
considering providing alternative patterns of delivery.
The course may, subject to demand, be started in September or February and extends over 5 semesters
or 24 months.
