How do people learn? What gets in the way of learning? Where might people learn best – and how? Do we need schools? Is it possible to ‘school’ the world? Can education make a difference in human rights? Women's rights? Nationally? Globally? These are just some of the big questions you will examine by studying Education Studies at BGU in Lincoln. We are proud of our highly current, reactive, and issues-based course, carefully designed to give you that ‘bigger’ picture of education in a global society. An Education Studies degree from BGU will equip you well for the future, no matter what your career destination, but if you are planning to go on to teach, you will find that our modules will open your eyes to some different ways of thinking about education and its purpose and place in society.
Studying Education Studies with us will provide you with an excellent understanding of education in its broadest sense, nationally and globally. It is a perfect choice if you are interested in a career in teaching or are thinking about working in other education-related areas. The undergraduate degree provides you with deep and reflective knowledge and understanding of contemporary issues in education directly related to everyday practice. You’ll debate education policy, find out more about the drivers of educational change in England today and critically consider different approaches to schools and schooling, both within the UK and globally.
A key feature of Education Studies is focusing on you as a developing practitioner. You will be encouraged to develop a solid personal ideology of education during the course. You will be supported in developing specific employability skills through our work-based placements. Several core modules each year incorporate posts in schools or other education-related settings, and carefully structured placement tasks will ensure you gain valuable first-hand practical experience.
