Explore and learn to understand social and human behaviour within educational settings. You’ll use psychological research and theory to drive your studies.

This course will provide contemporary psychological perspectives on what it means to be a student within educational spaces.

As part of this course, you’ll:

Investigate the place where education and psychology meet and focus on developing the skills required for working with children and young people

Undertake meaningful and progressive professional work experience opportunities that are linked to potential job roles

Consider the key issues that affect children and young people today

Expanding your knowledge

This course will enable you to develop graduate expertise in a variety of areas. You’ll be able to identify barriers to learning and devise strategies to help individuals thrive in an educational setting. You’ll gain specific knowledge of conditions such as autism, and a critical understanding of the local, national, and international contexts of education. You’ll have the opportunity to choose optional modules and attend lectures alongside fellow Carnegie School of Education students as part of our new integrated curriculum. Your understanding of policy-based responses will enable you to operate within a complex and rapidly changing landscape.

Teaching & Learning

Independent study is a crucial part of learning at university and you will be required to undertake many hours of self-directed research and reading, and preparation and writing of assessments. Your course is delivered through a number of modules, which will help you to plan your time and establish a study routine. Outside of your lectures, workshops and tutorials, a range of support is available to assist with your independent study. Our subject-specific librarians will be on hand to direct you to the specialist learning and study-skill resources. You’ll also be assigned an academic advisor to give you tailored feedback and support.

Career Prospects

You’ll have the graduate skillset for a professional career in education and related sectors such as health and social care, social work and youth work.
