Level Two builds on the knowledge and skills developed at Level 1. The latter allows the student to devise a module based on their own interests and aspirations and permits an enormous flexibility in the areas of study open to the learner. Level Three brings the student close to the cutting edge of educational research. Major students also undertake a dissertation. The course will be taught by a team of tutors who have extensive teaching experience in a wide range of educational contexts, including the training and education of schoolteachers.
Education attracts students whose other subjects cover a wide spectrum of disciplines.
These may be from Arts, Social Sciences, Science or Business. The course is naturally relevant to those contemplating entrance to the teaching profession via the PGCE route but students in this case are strongly advised to talk to the Course Leader or to a PGCE tutor for guidance on the most appropriate subjects to study alongside Education. This is not a teacher training course, although it will open your mind to the vast number of issues that Education captures and will do this in more detail than might be possible in a PGCE course or an undergraduate QTS course. Admissions Advice Entry requirements are standard.
