B.A. Education with International Teaching

Our three year, full-time degree courses will help you to understand the theories, values, policies and practice which underpin education for all and to make choices for yourself and others. The focus is on a wide range of educational issues, theories and locations and in this way you will gain skills highly relevant to your future career and the needs of employers.

All of our BA (Honours) degree courses offer you the opportunity to engage in the rigorous and systematic examination of aspects of educational theory. Using historical, philosophical, psychological and sociological theory you will be supported to examine, analyse and reflect upon a range of educational and related themes and to accommodate to new ways of thinking. Throughout your study you will draw upon a wide range of sources, theories, disciplines and subjects to develop your ability to question not only the aims and values of educational systems and processes but also the problematic nature of educational enquiry. You will further develop your ability to construct and sustain well-reasoned arguments and present these in a lucid, clear and concise manner. In this way you will graduate with increased intellectual confidence and personal independence.
