Many of our undergraduate students also progress on to postgraduate studies in the field of education.
Our BA Education programme will equip you with the knowledge, skills, experiences and graduate attributes to support the education of children and young people in a variety of different educational settings. The programme is informed by a commitment to social justice and inclusion and you will gain a deep understanding of the role of education in a diverse society in the UK and internationally.
You'll have the opportunity to balance theory with professional practice by completing three placements during your time with us - one in each academic year. Our diverse network of schools and other education-related organisations will provide you with a highly-valued, situated learning experience in vibrant multicultural schools and other educational settings.
You will learn in various educational contexts which allow us to relate our programme to your individual career aspirations - whether they lie in teaching, youth work or any other role in education. We also offer a range of inspiring and thought provoking co-curricular activities and trips to further enhance your studies. We are also currently developing our links in order to offer international work-based learning in education.
Our BA in Education programme supports you in developing an in-depth, applied knowledge and understanding of schooling and of the wider world of education. It focuses on the following core strands: foundations of education; education and society; education and work; and education and research. Our staff use their extensive, specialist expertise as active researchers in the field to directly inform their teaching on this programme. They have a passion for teaching and this is reflected in the excellent feedback we receive from our BA Education students about the quality of our provision. Staff ensure that the experiences you gain in various educational settings support you in effectively connecting theory with practice.
