Education has the power to improve lives. With this BA (Hons) in Education Studies and Psychology degree, you will recognize the importance of education, as well as explore the psychological factors that inhibit and motivate learning. Studying at NTU, you will engage in the most relevant contemporary issues of our time - including well-being, mental health, social media, and relationships – and gain skills and confidence along the way.

Combining education and psychology into one innovative interdisciplinary degree, you will study how psychological theory can be related to a variety of educational environments.

The course provides an interdisciplinary perspective on important issues regarding a diverse range of learners, such as special educational needs, looked-after children, and refugees.

Whether you are new to the world of work, planning a career change, or looking to work abroad, we will help you stand out for a future associated with education. You will be ready to make a difference in society in a diverse range of careers - whether that’s in the public sector, welfare, mainstream education, or alternative educational provision such as hospitals, prisons, and therapeutic settings.
