Why Education with Psychology?
* You’ll have the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills that can be applied to a range of roles in education, learner support, counselling and mentoring, educational psychology and more. This course is a recognised progression route on to primary teacher training.
* You’ll be taught alongside students on other courses in education and social sciences, allowing for an enriched learning experience in both subject areas. The course structure enables you to choose from a wide range of modules, giving you the opportunity to develop your particular interests. You’ll explore key theories and concepts related to a range of educational contexts, covering psychological, sociological, political, economic and cultural issues.
* You’ll be encouraged and supported to undertake voluntary work experience to contextualise your learning in the summer term of your first or second year. There's an option module in the second year called Psychology and the World of Work. If you take this module you'll complete a work placement and reflect on your experience to support your future career progression.
