Course summary

Combine a degree in Education with one of five specialisms: History, English, Sustainability, Inclusive Practice, or Leadership and Management. Why Education at ARU?

  • Study at a university with over 20 years’ experience of training education professionals.
  • Stand out with one of five specialisms: English, History, Sustainability, Inclusive Practice, or Leadership and Management.
  • Prepare for a wide range of education careers.
  • Boost your employability with volunteering and work experience.
Shape the future of education while keeping your career options open with this innovative degree that goes beyond traditional classroom learning. You’ll delve into a variety of subjects including sociology, policy, sustainability, globalisation, technology, and social justice, spanning from early years to adult education, as well as exploring writing and texts that take in a range of time periods and genres. Prepare to navigate and respond to the evolving landscape of education on a global scale: learn to understand and promote social justice, use technology in education, conduct independent research, build strong educational relationships, and adapt to global trends in education. Join our education community and:
  • learn from primary school teachers and leaders with a wealth of experience
  • work with research-active lecturers who’ll support you carry out your own research in an area of interest
  • make use of learning facilities including extensive library and IT resources
  • access support, should you need it, with study skills, careers advice, health and wellbeing, and more.
Careers Throughout the course you’ll get the support, tools and opportunities you need to succeed as an autonomous, active learner, including on-going feedback, personalised teaching approaches and resources based on your needs, interests, and experiences. You’ll also gain an understanding of educational systems and policies at local, national, and international levels, and the factors that impact human learning and development and influence educational outcomes and practices. What can you do with an Education degree? You’ll develop a broad range of skills and qualities to work in a range of professions associated with education, development and care of children, young people and adults in many different settings that require a necessarily high personal and professional standard of behaviour and ethical values. With further training you could progress to teaching roles, or other roles within the education sector. You may choose to work in policy or leadership roles or, like us, teach and train our future educators. You might also want to continue on to a Masters course, such as one of our MA Education degrees, which include options to specialise in leadership and management, SEND, and Montessori settings, or our PGCE.
