MA Education Studies - Integrated

At undergraduate level, you’ll gain knowledge and understanding of:

the diversity of learners and the complexities of the learning process;
debates about the curriculum and its content;
the development of schooling, teaching and education policy in the UK and internationally;
the wider economic, political and socio-cultural contexts of education
research methods used in education; and
the impact of inequalities in gender, race, class and disability.
In addition to this you’ll gain skills that will make you attractive to employers. You’ll learn to present your ideas confidently in a variety of forms, use ICT for various professional purposes and work collaboratively.

Education Studies will provide the basis for you to work with learners – young people and older people – in different organisations: children’s centres, youth organisations and community organisations. You may choose to work in educational and training advisory roles in a range of organisations including community organisations, youth clubs, businesses, local authorities, non-government organisations, museums, art galleries and libraries.

As well as going on to study for the PGCE our graduates have been recruited by Notts Trent International College, Explore Learning, the NHS and many schools and Local Authorities working in Educational roles such as tutors, trainers and Higher Level Teaching Assistants.

You’ll also be able to apply for PGCE courses in teacher training – but if you know at this stage that you want to be a teacher you should consider our primary or secondary teaching pathway.
