Overview

The Education, Society and Culture BA programme from University College London (UCL) is flexible, allowing you to follow your interests as you gain subject-specific and transferable skills that will enable you to succeed in the modern workplace and impact societal issues.

What this course will give you

Our students are introduced to a broad set of social science and humanities subjects through which they gain an interdisciplinary toolkit to understand education, society and culture and the ways in which humans develop and flourish throughout their lives.

Students on the programme learn to think about education as a driving force for change relevant to how we think about workplaces, the media, globalisation, migration, politics, social justice and the economy.

Employability

In addition to subject knowledge from our four core disciplines, our students develop an interdisciplinary skillset to integrate new knowledge from different fields, and a global mindset to work in diverse teams and settings.
They also develop a range of transferable skills in research, leadership, collaboration and teamwork, communication (written, oral and digital) and advocacy that enable them to contribute to contemporary workplaces.
