You will be encouraged to question current educational ideas and practices and to challenge the assumptions that underpin them. Our aim is that, as an education graduate, you will be well equipped to understand and influence a range of educational processes at local, national and international levels. In year one you will begin to study a number of strands that run throughout the three years of the degree in subjects such as education and society; education: past, present and future; learning through the 21st century; and contemporary debates in education.
