In your first year, you'll be introduced to the three key strands of the course: disability and inclusion, eco-education, and early childhood. The concepts of values and equality will sit at the heart of your learning, helping you develop an understanding of the moral and social issues in education today. Fieldwork at this stage gives you the chance to recognise your strengths and develop specific areas of expertise early on. Your second year picks up the three major strands studied in the previous year, but with additional modules in ICT, alternatives in education, critical theory and philosophy with children, as well as preparation for a PGCE in a school or adult context. You’ll have the freedom to focus on a variety of vocational or postgraduate pathways, while work-based, independent learning allows you to use paid or unpaid work (even a holiday job) to further your reflection skills and enhance your graduate profile. In your final year, the three core strands from years one and two continue, while your main focus will be on educational research. Some options from year two are also available to study in year three. Entry at this level is available to students with a foundation degree or HND-related subject. The modules shown for this course or programme are those being studied by current students, or expected new modules. Modules are subject to change depending on year of entry.
