Have you ever wondered why education looks so different around the world? Are you interested in how culture and politics can shape the educational opportunities someone has? Do you want to know more about how and why people may learn in different ways?
The BA Education Studies is an ideal qualification if you are fascinated by education as a global phenomenon, how people learn, and the social world of education. Education profoundly shapes all our lives and we consider this in the broadest sense possible.
From the philosophical foundations of schooling and universities, 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.
You may be interested in a specific career path in education, or want to keep your career options open. This course prepares you for a career in many different areas, both in the education sector and beyond. It can provide the first step towards a career as a teacher or researcher, and supports roles in publishing, policy making, the voluntary and public sectors, as well as many more.

The University is committed to continuous improvement and is currently undertaking a review to enhance our courses. As we make updates, some details of courses advertised for 2027 entry may change. These enhancements are being developed in consultation with students and in response to student feedback. We will not be making changes to degree subjects, academic standards or the broad concepts that will be taught, but to how courses are organised. In some cases this may mean that the balance of compulsory and optional modules may change. Any updates will be communicated transparently and by the end of summer 2026, ensuring applicants know exactly what to expect from their chosen degree.
