Whether your degree leads you to become a teacher, or to another graduate career related to education, you will develop the breadth and depth of knowledge and specialist skills necessary to become a critically minded, reflective professional.  You will draw on a range of disciplines including education, social policy, philosophy, history, disability studies and child development to develop you as a graduate ready to work in multi-professional contexts.  

 

Through a combination of mandatory and optional modules you will explore a range of contexts from the classroom through to how education defines the world around us and is used as a lever for social and political change.  You will learn about the wide range of factors that influence why and how we educate, including: race, gender, power, health, technology, culture, ecology, inclusion and politics. 

 

Year 1 will support you in orientating to university level study through a range of core modules which include content that is fundamental to the multidisciplinary study of education.  In Years 2 and 3 increasingly specialised content will extend your knowledge and understanding of education by drawing on national and international research and practices and the extensive experience and research expertise of our dedicated tutor team.
