Education is a forward-looking, research-led discipline concerned with policy and practice from a global perspective. It is a rapidly growing area of study that draws on the disciplines of psychology, philosophy, history and the social sciences to focus on understanding how people learn and how structures of education operate to foster life-long learning and personal development. The Education and Psychology joint honours degree will enable students to specialise in both subjects, developing a range and mix of skills and knowledge which will enhance their future career prospects. Consequently, with the development of specialist subject knowledge and a unique set of skills, graduates of our BSc (Hons) Education and Psychology programme will be well equipped to challenge contemporary issues at the intersection of psychology and education, including prison education, the education of looked after children, education across the lifespan, special educational needs, and community education. The BSc (Hons) Education and Psychology degree provides an excellent foundation for many types of professional careers, including: early years teaching and play therapy; education administration; community development work, counselling, and roles within youth, health and social care; jobs in education departments in museums, galleries and theatres, local and national government and in social services; HR and management positions; public relations, marketing and publishing careers; careers services; and roles in the criminal justice system (i.e., the police, prison education).
