Education and History
BA (Hons)
Why study this course?
Education and History fit well together. You will learn the skills of the historian
as you deepen your understanding of eras, continents and cultures from political,
social and religious perspectives, whilst exploring the ways in which education
has been central to social and political change around the world.
You will study educational topics such as the nature of learning, the
history of education, and changes to educational policies and practices.
You will explore the ways in which education has been central to social
and political change around the world. Alongside this, you’ll develop an
understanding of different approaches to history, developing a range of
methods used in their pursuit.
You will take classes with internationally known experts and have a lot
of flexibility and choice to specialise in the areas that most interest you.
What will this mean for my future?
When you graduate, as well as the opportunity to pursue further
academic study, you might choose to do a PGCE and become a teacher
or lecturer. Students who have studied these disciplines have entered
a wide variety of careers including local government, media and
communications, sales and marketing, banking, and the legal profession.
