The School is one of the UK’s leading centres for research and teaching in education, offering a diverse range of programmes at Undergraduate and Postgraduate level, including award-bearing Short Courses and International Consultancy.  

We have a well-established international reputation and have active networks of relationships with both national and international agencies and institutions. Our programmes attract students and researchers from around the world.

Undergraduate Study (BA, BSc)

Our Undergraduate Study (BA, BSc) degrees recognise the value of work-based learning and are designed to facilitate the integration of work placements with a challenging academic programme of study which enables students to become effective, independent and proactive in their future professional roles.

By the end of the degree programme it is expected that students will have developed not only the study and communication skills, organisational abilities, research experience, learner-independence and self-reflective qualities expected of a graduate, but also the team-working, ITC and interpersonal skills and attributes which will enhance their effectiveness within the workplace and equip them to initiate strategies, manage change and respond positively to challenges in their professional lives.

All of our degrees provide highly transferable skills for graduate career opportunities to work in either the public, private or voluntary sectors.

For those who intend to teach or provide coaching and training in their chosen field, to those for whom studying a rigorous, relevant, academic discipline will form the basis for a career in the media, publishing, public services, sport performance or development sector, the museum and library service, business, commerce, social and educational research, managerial and administrative roles in schools and local authorities, work in early years settings, careers in youth, community and charity work, and in the caring professions more generally.
