Education is increasingly seen as essential to an informed society and as the driver for economic growth, social harmony and personal well-being. Explore the ideas underpinning the education system and the environment it operates in, and challenge your views about topics debated in society. By combining two distinctive but intertwined subjects, you’ll gain a deep understanding of education and learn to evaluate evidence, think critically and craft arguments - attributes valued by potential employers. You'll also get to tailor your degree to your interests and use your skills to carry out research in an area you’re passionate about. From Year Two onward, formal assessments will contribute toward your degree. In Year Three your 10,000-word dissertation focuses on a specific topic of your choice. Assessments range from essays to group presentations and portfolios to examinations. On completion of this course a significant proportion of our graduates go on to teacher training at primary and secondary levels at prestigious institutions in the UK. A number of students have also secured alternative pathways into teaching and education, including Teach First.
