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. You will study the theory linked to learning, teaching and assessment and will gain an understanding of curriculum design. You will also have the option of studying the concepts of teaching English as a foreign language which focuses on skills that can lead to opportunities to work anywhere in the world.
