Education Studies, BA (Hons)

Education is at the heart of the development of our society. To study education is to study the way society develops. Our BA (Hons) Education Studies course considers the concept of education from a variety of perspectives. You will engage in critical reflection on the aims, values, principles and policies of the UK education system as well as education systems around the world. Please note that there may be some changes to the modules on offer on this course for the 2024/25 academic year. Check bcu.ac.uk/courses for the latest information. There is an emphasis on issues of equality and diversity, and their particular relevance to educational experiences and achievement. The central philosophy underpinning the course is a commitment to create a supportive and challenging learning environment in which you can thrive and develop. You will be provided with opportunities to explore and debate ideas, encouraged and led by a diverse group of experienced tutors who have worked across a variety of educational backgrounds and disciplines. Tutors will engage you and your fellow students in a reflective and critical evaluation of educational practices, theories and research. We also offer a valuable opportunity to embark on a variety of work-based placements in education through our established connections across schools, colleges and training institutions.
