Dr Kate Hoskins - Senior Lecturer BA Education

100% of our work in Education was recognised either internationally or nationally, with 30% regarded as "world-leading" or "internationally excellent" (RAE 2008)

About the course

Everyone has been to school and many of us continue to be educated and to engage in learning throughout our lives. We therefore have strong views and opinions on what children and young people should be taught in schools, on how they should be educated and what the outcome of a good education should be. Indeed we are all “experts” but to understand education and to develop a career within the education system you need to study the subject in considerable detail. On our BA Education programme you will have the opportunity to explore this fascinating subject from a variety of different perspectives.

In order to enhance your career prospects we have pathways within the programme which enable you to improve your presentation skills, your abilities to communicate verbally and in writing, your abilities to work within a group and as part of team, your organisational and time management skills and your abilities to present a logical and coherent argument.

We therefore provide you with the generic skills needed for employment by enabling you to follow a particular personal development pathway. In addition, we also develop your knowledge and skills for employment in education by the choice of subjects you may study and the excellent teaching and learning experience we provide. So that when you graduate you may either gain employment as a teacher, after having completed a one-year PGCE, or another profession within education.

Besides teaching, a substantial number of students go on to gain employment as learning mentors, social or community workers, youth workers, educational administrators and education welfare officers. Recent graduates have also gone on to work in the education departments in museums, galleries and theatres; early years settings; education publishing; education research departments and local education authorities. Besides gaining employment, our students have completed Masters courses in, for instance, special and inclusive education, counselling, philosophy or educational psychology.
