Course programme

· Year 1
We’ll teach you the basic principles of education. You’ll gain an understanding of how we most effectively think and learn.
In addition you can tailor your studies to your interests in areas such as primary teaching; early childhood studies, childhood narratives; philosophy for children and international education.

· Year 2
The focus on year two is on a placement in an educational setting. You’ll complete assignments around your experiences. This leads towards a piece of research in an area negotiated by you.
Current optional modules include: understanding classrooms; learning through drama; literacy learning; and supporting learners with additional needs.

· Year 3
You’ll write a dissertation, balancing independent work with one-to-one support. We’ll give you flexibility in what you do and how you go about it. You can choose to go into an educational setting and carry out research or undertake library-based study.
Optional modules include: teaching and professionalism; learning and mathematics; supporting a dyslexic learner; and creativity, ICT and learning.

· Integrated MA
If you’re interested in this course, and like the idea of combining undergraduate and postgraduate study, we offer an integrated MA option. You’ll follow the structure of the Education Studies course in your first two years, before advancing to master’s level study in your final years.

You’ll be assessed through coursework. There are no exams.

Assessments could include essays, group presentations, research-based reports and portfolio-based work. We’ll provide you with regular feedback on how well you are doing and give you regular guidance on how to improve your skills, knowledge and understanding.
