EDUCATION SINGLETON PARK CAMPUS
Education is a forward-looking, research-led discipline concerned with policy and practice from a global perspective. It is a rapidly growing area of study that draws on the disciplines of psychology, philosophy, history and the social sciences to focus on understanding how people learn and how structures of education operate to foster lifelong learning and personal development.
The course covers education in different settings, including early years, schools, further and higher education, social services and local and national systems. Employability is a key theme and you will have the chance to put your study into practice through optional work placements that include local schools, authorities, businesses and charities. You will study the theory linked to learning, teaching and assessment and will gain an understanding of curriculum design. The Education degree also considers education in wider social contexts, including the social, historical and political contexts of education. You will be introduced to concepts and ideas which examine the relationship between education and society and the role of education in children and young people's life opportunities. You will need an additional Initial Teacher Education (ITE) or Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) qualification to become a teacher – please see page 84.
