Education is an important and interesting field of study in its own right. As a broad and interdisciplinary academic subject, Education examines the forces that shape and influence individuals and societies in a range of contexts throughout life.
Year 1: topics include the nature and purpose of education, the impact of poverty and social class on children and society, and the role of culture and community in education; you also undertake a community-based placement.
Year 2: focus on education and learning theories, and consider optional classes linked to voluntary sector education programmes, developing your partnership and collaborative project skills.
Year 3: explore the evolution of adult education with a community placement; consider how educational research is organised and developed in addressing pressing educational questions.
Year 4: explore critical social and political issues in education alongside other choices of specialist classes such as Critical Issues in Education and Educational Representation in Film and Literature.
