Course Overview

This course is ideal for those already employed in an appropriate educational setting and who wish to study while working. BA Education (Top Up) is a one-day-a-week taught course for professionals already working in settings where they can engage in study during their working week. As well as the day at LSBU, students are expected to reflect on their academic studies by relating them to their day-to-day experiences in the workplace. This work-based route allows students to develop transferable work-based analytical and research skills, gain academic recognition for existing skills, and improve professional effectiveness.

This program supports you in developing your professional approach in the workplace. It allows you to link theory and practice, critically analyze different approaches, and develop the necessary skills to be a reflective and innovative practitioner. It also widens participation to include career changers and mature students with family commitments.
