Course summary

How do we learn? What place do power and privilege play in education? Examine questions like this as you explore the world of education from conception to our early 20s as you prepare for a career supporting learning inside or outside of the classroom.

Study our Education Studies BA and you'll develop strong critical and analytical skills in core aspects like psychology, sociology, history and the philosophy of education. From Wittgenstein to forest schools, diversity and inclusion to themes of social justice, you’ll study the topic of education and its impact on human development and society from the medieval age to the present day and beyond.

You’ll develop career-enhancing skills with annual placements that fit your career goals and discover new ideas on optional field trips to, for example, Sweden. There is also an optional year at a partner university in the USA or Europe.

Plus, if you discover a passion for supporting children with additional needs, you can switch to the special educational needs, disability and inclusion (SENDI) pathway at the end of your first year.
