Course Overview

As an English student at Strathclyde, you'll enjoy the best of old and new: a grounding in the classics and an insight into new fields of literature. You'll read texts from various literary periods and debate critical issues such as identity, race, gender, and what it is to be a human.

We're the only university in Scotland to offer a joint honours degree in Education.

We'll show you how exciting and wide-ranging our subject can be. Employers like the skills developed in an English degree: written and verbal communication, analysis and discussion of ideas, and broad, creative thinking. You'll work with staff who are world-leading researchers and prize-winning novelists, and poets.

Education is essential if you wish to study initial teacher education courses. We offer you the chance to develop knowledge of the education systems of Scotland and beyond, looking at issues including policy, social justice, equity and inclusion.

Combining education with other subjects provides opportunities for those who wish to work in professions associated with education but don't wish to become teachers.

Please note that this course doesn't allow you to qualify as a teacher. However, joint honours Education graduates can explore postgraduate routes into teaching careers (via the PGDE).
