Education in the UK and overseas is constantly changing, making it a fascinating field of study. The course examines a range of contemporary UK and international education systems, with a specific focus on education as a business.

 

Providing an overall view of the Education industry, our Education BA(Hons) course can prepare you for a successful post-University career. Our teachers are industry leaders, and this course encourages you to focus on the Education sector from a different perspective, including socially and politically.

You might work, for example, for local authorities, in family and children’s services, in nurseries, as a childminder, or in another relevant role.
