Explore the ideas underpinning the education system and the environment it operates in and challenge your views about topics debated in society.

Education is increasingly seen as essential to an informed society and as the driver for economic growth, social harmony and personal well-being.

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.

Teaching and assessment

You’ll study and learn with academics who are active researchers, experts in their field and have a passion for their subjects. Our approach to teaching will provide you with the knowledge, opportunities, and support you need to grow and succeed in a global workplace.

Assessment and feedback

Your first-year work doesn't contribute towards your final degree classification. We recognise that students are only beginning to develop during the first year of their degree.

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.

Careers and skills

You'll develop skills valued by a broad range of careers including teaching, publishing, charity work, construction of learning environments, design of learning resources and more.

A significant proportion of our graduates go on to teacher training at primary and secondary levels at prestigious institutions in the UK. Several students have also secured alternative pathways into teaching and education, including Teach First.
