Education Studies

Education Studies is a broad multidisciplinary degree, designed for intellectually and practically curious individuals. If you are fascinated by the social, political, psychological and philosophical aspects of education, this course may be for you. Have you ever wondered why education looks so different around the world?

Are you interested in how culture and politics can shape the educational opportunities someone has? Do you want to know more about how and why people may learn in different ways? The BA Education Studies is an ideal qualification if you are fascinated by education as a global phenomenon, how people learn, and the social world of education.

Education profoundly shapes all our lives and we consider this in the broadest sense possible. From the philosophical foundations of schooling and universities, to the political implications of policy, education is a vast field that has multiple avenues to approach a seemingly straightforward subject. Our degree goes far beyond any classroom and considers education, people and their relationship to the ever-changing world.
