Course summary

This Programme is designed to enable students to gain an understanding of the multi-disciplinary field of Education, and of patterns of social life and social change more broadly. The course structure offers a broad and balanced curriculum of research-informed modules which are firmly rooted in the disciplines of education and sociology. Students will become critical thinkers who can engage with theoretical knowledge and research evidence from education, sociology, and related fields, with relevance to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, both locally and globally. This includes the development of discipline-specific skills such as the ability to draw on a range of primary and secondary sources, and to analyse data.Graduates will be equipped with advanced skills in analysing and evaluating complex issues within and across educational and social systems. They will become familiar with methodologies relevant to investigating problems and identifying best practice across social contexts, including education. Students will have opportunities to gain experiences within organisations across civil society and in a range of education and related sectors. Teaching is embedded within a strong research culture, which is supported by the School’s research centres and networks. Curriculum and assessment for each module is tailored to provide learners with knowledge and skills which will prepare them to pursue careers across education and sociology, as well as related fields. Our graduates will be equipped to undertake social research from sociological and educational perspectives, and will have the ability to support the ambitions of a whole range of organisations in these areas.
