BA (Hons) Education
Gain a rich understanding of the field of education
Take part in work-based learning to provide context for your studies and develop your employability skills
Specialize in an area of your own interest culminating in a capstone project
The BA (Hons) Education Degree provides important multidisciplinary tools for studying education. It selectively draws from fields such as history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, linguistics, and economics aiming to promote critical understandings of such things as teaching, learning, curriculum, and assessment. Importantly, it considers the moral, social, and political issues which intertwine with these, such as inclusion, access and equity.
Education is important to the world. Studying it to the best of your ability is to exercise an equally important responsibility.
Study abroad
This course offers you the opportunity to study abroad in Year Two through the University's study abroad program. Study abroad opportunities are available worldwide and in Europe under the Erasmus+ Programme.
Work placement
You will undertake one work or community-based module at each level of the course. Throughout the course, you will reflect on, and analyze, your own practice and experience. You will be supported in this through seminars, lectures and tutorials, on-campus or online. These work-based inquiry modules (WBEs) aim to provide you with:
- the opportunity to experience real-world contexts
- a chance to critically explore the social, communicative, and organizational dimensions of a range of workplace contexts, and
- the tools and experiences to develop your employability skills.
