This course explores how learning happens at all ages, from very young children to older adults. You will learn about education in a range of settings, from schools and universities to online communities, social movements, workplaces and care homes. You will develop expertise in UK education and will study education from global, international and comparative perspectives.

The course currently includes an optional placement unit, Education in Practice, where you can apply your learning and gain valuable workplace experience through a placement in a school, charitable organisation, business, museum, community group or research setting.

If you achieve the required grades at the end of the first year, you will spend your third year at a partner institution overseas, for example the US, Australia or Hong Kong. Visit Global Opportunities to find out more about where you can study abroad.

This degree is great preparation for careers anywhere that education matters including routes into primary teaching, work in the public or private sectors and careers with charitable organisations.
