Make yourself highly employable on this future-facing education degree, which is informed by principles of sustainability and can be adapted to your interests. Develop specialist knowledge and skills in the areas of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Digital Learning.

Why study education?

How and where people learn, and what influences that learning, is constantly evolving. With advances in digital technology creating new learning tools and experiences, it's an interesting time to work in this field.

Learning isn't just something that takes place in schools. Designing and improving how learning happens has relevance in all areas of work and society, so graduates are prepared for employment across diverse sectors and roles.

Why UWE Bristol?

Study our BA(Hons) Education and you'll examine education for all ages, in both formal and informal settings, including schools, workplaces, communities and wider society. Benefit from Bristol's diverse education community, with many organisations pushing boundaries using the latest teaching and learning innovations.

Explore the role of education as a positive force for change in society and develop your understanding of the design and improvement of learning in different contexts, informed by principles of sustainability. Digital Learning and SEND are important specialist threads within the course, offering you strong transferable skills and an awareness of professional practice that's sought after by employers.

Gain work-based learning experiences, with UK or international work experience opportunities. You'll also have the flexibility to tailor your modules and assessments to your interests, keeping your learning relevant to your chosen career path.

Where can it take me?

By the end of your education degree, you'll have gained strong transferable skills, SEND and Digital Learning awareness and knowledge of making learning accessible for all. You'll be equipped to make a positive difference across a range of educational settings, with the skillset to get you noticed by employers. 

You could find work in formal or informal education settings, creative or cultural organisations, or industry or local government as an education, digital education or inclusion specialist. You could also go on to teacher training or a master's in education, or a chosen specialist area.
