**Course Overview**
- Our popular BA (Hons) Education & Sociology degree combines the complementary disciplines of education and sociology, with principles of social justice at its core.
- On this engaging course you’ll gain a comprehensive knowledge of both disciplines and enhance your understanding of educational theories, policies and practice. You’ll then apply these to educational issues in the past and present.
- You’ll learn about the influences on the development of the education system, the curriculum, and learners with disabilities. As well as studying core social theories and research methodologies, you’ll get to explore and debate a wide range of sociological themes.
