Overview

Course Structure

The breadth of our modules allows for the creation of pathways through the course. This may be linked to one of the degree's four strands of educational expertise: pragmatic; sociological-philosophical; psychological; and international-intercultural education. You will also study modules in the Department of Psychology.

Course Learning and Teaching

The Education Studies - Psychology BA degree offered by Durham University is mainly delivered through lectures and seminars. Lectures often present, explain and critically analyse theories and relevant issues, whereas smaller group seminars normally focus upon peer-assisted interaction for debate and discussion.

A large amount of time is spent on independent study and reading around topics, developing students’ capacity for critical analysis, reflection and evaluation.
