Programme structure

What will I study?
This innovative course focuses on a key theme each year to understand the ways in which sociology, psychology, and social policy interact.

In Year One, the theme is “exploring education” where you will look at educational issues and the language used within an interdisciplinary approach to education studies.

Year Two poses the question “can education be socially just?” Building on Year One, you will explore ideas around education as a means to emancipation.

Year Three focuses on the constraints and possibilities within education. You will also have the opportunity to pursue an area of interest through a research project, or a further placement.
