Overview

Education sits in an ever-changing social, political and cultural context. This exciting new degree will allow you to explore the different settings where learning takes place and the processes that underpin it.

You’ll explore how education is delivered in different contexts, as well as the impact of government policy on classroom practice. You’ll learn how schools and classrooms work and how core curriculum subjects are learned and taught – and placements in Years 2 and 3 will allow you to gain first-hand practical experience of classrooms or other education settings. Diverse optional modules will allow you to focus on the topics that excite you the most – from science, mathematics or language education to behaviour management.

You’ll study among active researchers at the forefront of their fields, including our Teaching and Learning Academic Group. It’s a great opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and a wide range of skills for careers within and beyond the education se
