Course summary
Critically analysing education in a fast-changing globalised world, BA (Honours) Education will engage you in the contemporary debates about learning and learners. You will think sociologically and philosophically as you grapple with the purpose of education for society and in individuals' lives. The course will introduce you to psychology in education and how this shapes understandings of children and childhood. It will enable you to develop your understanding of contemporary educational policy at both global and local levels, while exploring the history and development of educational institutions and systems. You will gain hands-on experience through a short, in-course work-based placement, with tailored career advice throughout your studies. With optional modules to choose across a range of different topics and themes, you will gain a broad range of knowledge and skills to help you progress to where you want to be. These modules will form ‘pathways’ through the programme, allowing you to choose a route through the course that reflects your passions and interests in and around the field of education. These pathways are: ‘Policy and Management’, ‘Wellbeing and Inclusion’, ‘Arts and Culture’, and ‘English Language Teaching’.
