The Education Studies and History degree is an opportunity to study a long line of educational practices and ideas alongside a broad and revealing exploration of different cultures, wars and traditions of the past. The course goes far beyond teaching and learning: you explore a range of contexts from the classroom through to how education defines the world around us and is used as a lever for social and political change. You will learn things about the workings of society and education which will surprise you.
