BA (Hons) Education & Social Policy

... United Kingdom
... University of Strathclyde

Course Overview

Education is essential if you wish to study initial teacher education courses. We offer you the chance to develop knowledge of the education systems of Scotland and beyond, looking at issues including policy, social justice, equity and inclusion. You can put theory into practice in a community placement and enhance your employability.

Combining education with other subjects provides opportunities for those who wish to work in professions associated with education but don't wish to become teachers. Please note that this course doesn't allow you to qualify as a teacher. However, joint honours Education graduates can explore postgraduate routes into teaching careers via the Professional Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE).

Social Policy examines how societies distribute resources and develop services to meet individual and social needs. Critical social policy issues discussed include poverty; economic, race, age and gender inequality; social justice health; education; criminal justice and housing. It utilises qualitative and quantitative methods to improve our understanding of how societies organise their resources to meet individual and social needs and how they measure progress in these areas. 

This programme allows you to learn more about Scottish society's social and economic challenges and place these in a broader international perspective. It draws on history, sociology, anthropology, economics, law, psychology, social anthropology and politics.

Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen topic (s).
