This course is primarily aimed at international students looking to progress into a career in educational roles. Education in the UK and overseas is constantly changing. This makes it a fascinating field of study, with varied opportunities for employment when you graduate. The course examines a range of contemporary UK and international education systems with a specific focus on education as a business. It will build your awareness of business enterprise when it comes to education for both individuals and organisations, as you will consider approaches to management, organisational culture and behaviour, and marketing.

Why Education?

• Emphasis on this course is placed on the political, social, technological and economic context of education, presenting theories related to these aspects so that you can critically understand education systems across the world.
• The course addresses the fast-changing educational environment, giving you the skills to make you responsive to those changes within a variety of educational settings.
• You’ll have opportunity to make national and international comparisons, and analyse and solve problems related to education in a global context.

We know you’re coming to university to undertake your course, meet new people and broaden your horizons. However, we also help you to focus on life after you have graduated to ensure that your hard work pays off and you achieve your ambition.
