Education study guide 2024/25

What you can study

The School of Education's mission is to develop learning and leadership for a changing world. We tackle the big questions affecting schools, cultural spaces and online communities today, equipping students for careers that make a positive difference. Our research and teaching promotes opportunity, achievement, and social justice. 

You will find units on:

  • educational psychology
  • social justice
  • British education
  • global, international, and comparative education

Pre-requisites

At UK universities, students specialise from their first year and rarely take units outside their degree subject. This means that:

  • Year 1 units are suitable for all students.
  • Year 2 units require some university study in the discipline.
  • Year 3 units require a strong background in the discipline.
