Description
Education is a forward-looking, research-led discipline concerned with policy and practice from a global perspective. It is a rapidly growing area of study that draws on the disciplines of psychology, philosophy, history and the social sciences to focus on understanding how people learn and how structures of education operate to foster life-long learning and personal development.
The Education and Psychology joint honours degree will enable students to specialise in both subjects, developing a range and mix of skills and knowledge which will enhance their future career prospects.
Designed for UK/EU and international students, our BSc (Hons) Education and Psychology course considers:
Education in a wide context, not just within formal primary and secondary school settings, but also Further/Higher Education, social services, local and national government, and education within the community.
The psychological and neuroscientific processes that underpin daily activities, such as thinking, reasoning, memory and language. Students will explore human development across the lifespan, evaluate individual differences in the context of intelligence, personality and education, examine ways to improve health-related behaviour, learn the consequences of brain injury, examine how psychological perspectives can inform educational practice and theory, and explore cutting-edge research in learning and neuroscience. In each year of study, emphasis is placed on using psychological theory and research to understand and address societal issues and real-world problems.
Consequently, with the development of specialist subject knowledge and a unique set of skills, graduates of our BSc (Hons) Education and Psychology programme will be well equipped to challenge contemporary issues at the intersection of psychology and education, including prison education, the education of looked after children, education across the lifespan, special educational needs, and community education.
