Explore current educational debates in contemporary society, with a strong focus on inclusion, sustainability and global education. You’ll engage with issues of diversity, social justice and multilingualism, and discover how creative strategies can support all learners. Examine fundamental moral and social questions in education, and study education in a variety of learning contexts. All of this will deepen your understanding of how children and adults learn. This course can act as a stepping stone to a wide range of careers.

It can help you decide whether you want to teach and prepare you well for a postgraduate teaching qualification, or provide a route into one of many different educational careers – for example, an education officer in a charity, museum, gallery or training environment, or working in education policy. If you are interested in working with adults, you may pursue a career in mentoring or disability support. New mental health mentoring roles are emerging in a range of educational settings, in addition to other educational roles working in prisons, publishing and NGOs.

Our highly flexible Education Studies programme prepares you for further study – you could take a postgraduate teaching qualification and obtain QTS. You could also choose to take a different educational path, such as museum, arts or theatre education, disability support, training or education administration.
