Our Education course explores education from different angles , from how it affects people ’ s life chances , to how it shapes their identities . It perfectly integrates into other areas of study , such as psychology , philosophy or sociology . You ’ ll be set for a career leading to teaching and gain a balance of theory and practice , taught by experts in the field , in a research-led environment at the forefront of the discipline .
During a period of profound social and political change , our programmes explores what society should look like , what social life means , how we should run our political systems , and even what we mean when we talk about politics . You ’ ll learn the current social and political shifts we are living through are not only about a world post-coronavirus . They can in fact be traced back much further to the early years of the 21st century when it first became apparent that processes of globalisation were not only positive , but could also cause serious social and political problems .
