Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: X300
Here's what University of York says about its Education course.
Education affects us all, but few people ever question the systems and structures which seem so familiar.
Delve into the disciplines, theories and debates which underpin Education as an international field of study. You'll study key concepts and academic techniques to explore how people teach and learn, and how education interacts with wider society through intercultural approaches and a range of perspectives. You will consider the power structures that legitimise some knowledge over others and you will analyse the hidden curriculum, enabling you to critique education systems as well as consider the ways in which education can empower. Alongside rigorous academic study, you'll gain valuable skills and experience with opportunities for placements and volunteering. Your studies will inform and guide you, giving you practice applying educational theory to real-world situations. This course will not qualify you as a teacher. However, it is good preparation for postgraduate study, including teacher training courses and educational research.

Fun night life but not many shops to go around

Very expensive and the aldi is very far from the east campus. There is a Nisa which is way too expensive for students living by. My accommodation cost is expensive especially living with 12 people.

I like the accommodations however I dont like the people I am living with. If only they did the application where you match up people by hobbies and interests like Warick University does.

I like the timetable set for them, the module may need to think about not making them all presentations. The teacher is good.
