Course summary

Why Education? Our Education degree will give you the knowledge and skills to become a creative and analytical educator, using education to improve people’s lives. Sustainability and social justice are central themes of the course and you’ll explore the role of education in global issues such as climate change, inequality and disability. With opportunities to gain valuable experience and contacts on placements in settings such as schools, museums, animal shelters and charities, our graduates stand out from the competition.
