Education Study Guide 2025/26
What you can study
The School of Education's mission is to develop learning and leadership for a changing world. We tackle the big questions affecting schools, cultural spaces and online communities today, equipping students for careers that make a positive difference. Our research and teaching promotes opportunity, achievement, and social justice.
You will find units on:
- educational psychology
- social justice
- British education
- global, international, and comparative education
Pre-requisites
At UK universities, students specialise from their first year and rarely take units outside their degree subject. This means that:
- Year 1 units are suitable for all students.
- Year 2 units require some university study in the discipline.
- Year 3 units require a strong background in the discipline.
