If you’re interested in the factors that influence the way we teach and learn, and want to keep your career options open, then our BA Education is perfect for you.
You’ll be able to challenge educational practices and debate issues such as equality in education, learning in the digital age, and the ways in which cognition and development affect the way people learn. The degree covers perspectives from disciplines such as politics, history, sociology, philosophy and psychology.
The placement module provides an excellent opportunity to develop your understanding of educational theories in a practical setting, and will strengthen your CV.
Course Details - Modules
In your first year you will begin to study a number of strands that run throughout the degree.
You will also develop academic, career-focused and study skills, through individual meetings with personal tutors, group sessions and assessed work.
In order to develop a broad perspective on education, you have the opportunity to take up to 20 credits from outside of the school from languages study, Nottingham Open Online Courses (NOOC) or appropriate modules from sociology, politics or psychology.
In year two, as well as the core modules, you can also undertake an assessed work placement either in a school or a wider educational environment.
You will complete a reflective portfolio using a Placement Module Guidance Booklet. While on placement you will be fully supported by a mentor and your personal tutor.
In year three, you will develop your learning through core modules, and complete a dissertation on a topic of your choice that explores one of the central strands of the course. This gives you the opportunity to specialise in a particular area of interest and to demonstrate your in-depth knowledge and understanding.
You can also take up to 10 credits from outside of the school; from language study, Nottingham Open Online Courses (NOOCs) or modules from sociology, politics or psychology.
