Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Education and Psychology (X3C8)

A degree in Education is a dynamic and stimulating opportunity to study the individual, social, and political forces that shape education, in all its forms. If students are interested in how and why we learn, both formally and informally, in the UK or abroad, then studying Education will challenge and excite students in equal measure.

Our 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.
