Studying Education at Liverpool Hope University will help students to develop academically as they engage with evidence and research, professionally as they link theory to practice, preparing them for a wide variety of work contexts, and personally as they think more deeply about their values and aspirations. This degree will bring education to life, tackling important questions such as ‘Can education help overcome inequality in society?’ and ‘How does modern technology transform the learning and teaching experience?’. It is structured around the four key disciplines of education: psychology, sociology, history, and philosophy. Each discipline provides a different lens through which key ideas and issues in education can be understood.

Special Educational Needs (SEN) at Liverpool Hope University is an interdisciplinary subject underpinned by the work of the Centre for Culture and Disability Studies (CCDS). Studying Special Educational Needs at Liverpool Hope University will enable students to develop an understanding of the complex relationship between disability and society. They will explore the ways that disability studies can inform people's understanding of the medical and social models of disability and learn the importance of this in working with children with so-called special educational needs. The degree incorporates insights from education, the arts, humanities and health care, to ensure students gain a critical understanding of the relationship between disability and education.
