Course Overview

Past graduates of Education have gone on to have careers as Teachers, Safeguarding Officers, Care Support Workers, and Coaches, as well as careers in the social and caring professions, journalism, administration, human resources, and general management.

The creative, transferable skills you will develop as part of the degree are ideal preparation for a wide range of careers in the education system, professional training, personal development, and more.

Many graduates continue their studies by doing either an MA, PGCE, or PGDE postgraduate degree. You will also be offered the opportunity to apply to transfer onto the 4-year Master of Education degree course during your first 2 years of study.

Work Placement Opportunities

All students will be offered placement opportunities.

Students in the BA Education Single Honours program will be related to an assessed part of the course.

The 4-year Master of Education degree course

The 4-year Master of Education (MEd) course is an integrated 4-year degree course for Education students. The first 3 years are in common with the BA Education Single Honours or Combined honors course. Students studying the BA Education may apply to transfer to the MEd at any time during their first two years, subject to the University regulations on completion and progression.

SALA

The Service and Leadership Award (SALA) is offered as an extra-curricular program involving service-based experiences, development of leadership potential, and equipping you for a career in a rapidly changing world. It enhances your degree; it is complimentary but different and has a distinct ‘value-added’ component.
