BA (Hons) Education and Learning University of bolton

Program Description

The BA (Hons) in Education and Learning is a fascinating degree at the University of Bolton that allows you to study a balanced combination of current educational policy and the history, sociology, philosophy and psychology of education. It's an excellent opportunity to explore in-depth some of the key current issues affecting education in the UK and abroad. Key themes in this course include critical and reflective thinking, equality and diversity. By thinking about how we learn consciously and subconsciously, we'll explore how formal learning, alongside acquired knowledge, shapes our lives, interests and value structures. We also encourage you to research and analyse a range of educational practices and reflect on your own and others' experiences of education. This will help you think critically about learning and teaching, and how education is perceived and received. You'll be well prepared for postgraduate studies when you complete this course successfully. Although the course doesn't lead directly to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), you'll have first-hand experience in schools or other educational establishments to support your application for teacher training.
