Course Overview

This exciting course explores contemporary society and education, examining how social structures, organisations and cultures shape people’s lives and opportunities in Britain and across the world while exploring issues of inequality, social justice and children's rights. The degree is designed to open the door to a wide range of careers in education or the social sciences.

In your first year, you build your knowledge and understanding of education and society, examining ideas about the workings of social class, race, gender and disability, and the mechanisms that give rise to inequality. You learn about contemporary childhood across family, school and community contexts, and examine children's rights and the part played by government and institutions in framing our lived experiences.

In your second and third years, you can choose optional subjects that align with your career goals including units that look at health; refugees and asylum seekers; global childhoods; developing teaching; families and communities; and children and the media.
