Undergraduate Courses
Our BA Education combines the academic study of educational policies, systems, contexts and practices, with a practical focus on career development.
The BA Education course explores current educational ideas and practices and will encourage you to challenge the assumptions that underpin them.
When you graduate, you will be well-equipped to understand and influence a range of educational processes at local, national and international levels.
You'll be able to challenge educational practices and debate issues such as equality in education, learning in the digital age, and the ways in which cognition and development affect the way people learn.
If you’re interested in the factors that influence the way we teach and learn, and want to keep your career options open, the BA Education is perfect for you.
The School of Education is ranked in the top five in the UK and joint first for student satisfaction in the Complete University Guide by Subject 2023.
95.8% of undergraduates from the School of Education secured graduate level employment or further study within 15 months of graduation - HESA graduate outcomes 2019/20 data published in 2022. The Graduate Outcomes % is derived using The Guardian University Guide methodology.
