Education Studies is a broad multi-disciplinary degree, designed for the intellectually and practically curious. From the philosophical foundations of schooling, to the political implications of policy, education is a vast field that has multiple avenues to approach a seemingly straightforward subject. Our degree goes far beyond any classroom and considers education, people and their relationship to the ever-changing world.
**Course Structure**
The breadth of our modules allows for the creation of pathways through the course. This may be linked to one of the degree's four strands of educational expertise: pragmatic; sociological-philosophical; psychological; and international-intercultural education. You will also study modules in the Department of Geography.
**Core modules include:**
• Introduction to Intercultural and International Education
• Contemporary Issues and evidence in Education
• Educational Research Methods
**Range of Geography modules such as:**
• Economic Geography
• Glaciers and Glaciation
• Global Environmental Change
• Handling Geographic Information
• Mountain Landscapes
• Power, Politics and Space
• River Dynamics
• Social and Cultural Geography
• Dissertation.
**Optional modules available in previous years include:**
• Higher Education: Issues of Inclusion and Exclusion
• Constructing Childhood and Youth
• Assessing Education
• Identity, Culture and Education
• Learning and Development in Childhood
• Wider Contexts of Education
• Disability and Educational Needs: Impairment, Empowerment and Education
• Disability and Education Needs: What’s so ‘Special’ about SEND?
