Teaching, Education & Childhood Studies

Education

Our BA (Hons) Education course enables you to graduate with one of three specialist awards: BA (Hons) Education; BA (Hons) Education (Early Childhood); and BA (Hons) Education (Special Educational Needs).  Educators make a lasting impact on people’s lives and our graduates go on to make a positive difference to the lives of the individuals they work with, their communities and to society as a whole.  Whether your degree leads you to become a teacher, or to another graduate career related to education or the wider economy, Education leads to challenging and rewarding careers.  Whatever your chosen specialism, you will develop the breadth and depth of knowledge and specialist skills necessary to become a critically minded, resilient, adaptable, reflective professional.
