Assignment is a 5000 words essay. It should not be a descriptive essay. Critical engagement is a must. (Critically analyse and evaluate theory, policy, processes and practice in relation to the topic.)

At Masters level, you are expected to engage with a range of literature (academic books and published, peer-reviewed journal articles; policy, government reports; published empirical studies). You need to identify current debates in the literature and demonstrate a knowledge of the field. Therefore, your essay will require an introduction, background, policy context, key themes, a discussion of these, and a conclusion. If it helps, you might also include an abstract to clarify the rationale and key points from your essay.
