Our course explores some big questions underpinning education through the lens of psychology, sociology, history, and philosophy. You will engage with the issues that influence approaches to learning and will be able to compare education systems in a variety of countries and cultures to build an understanding of how people learn and develop throughout their lives.

This thought-provoking and stimulating course also gives you the opportunity to explore areas such as gender, race, equality, politics, multiculturalism, pedagogy, and representations of education in popular culture.
