Overview
A degree in education studies is an interdisciplinary practice, supplying the necessary knowledge and methodical structure needed to support individuals and organisations within the educational sector. Education Studies will enable you to lead with a positive outset to your working environment and the people you will work with.
Key Facts
This Education Studies (Hons) programme from University of Northampton examines the ways in which knowledge, skills and attitudes are passed on and developed in individuals, both overtly and covertly, through the ‘hidden’ curriculum. It draws on a range of disciplines, including the psychology, sociology, philosophy and history of education, curriculum studies, comparative and international education, and education policy. These disciplines are the theoretical underpinnings of the course.
You will have the chance to research educational settings, join in activities in schools and attend visits to other educational settings and institutions such as prisons. These practical experiences are particularly valuable to your future career development if you would like to go on to a teaching career. Most second year modules also include trips off campus (for example, to museums, schools, prisons, parliament, overseas visits, etc). The cost of any essential trips is covered by your tuition fees, but there will also be some visits that incur an additional cost. Trips within the UK may cost £20 and European trips can cost several hundred pounds but there are subsidies available for some students, for example, from the Students’ Union and the Chancellor’s Fund.
