This course considers education as life wide and lifelong, in work and play. Education transforms lives, and we pride ourselves on offering a course that creates a community of people willing to do just that. We inform, support, and promote those looking to become innovators, pioneers and leaders of societal change through education. Whether you are interested in social justice and belonging, special needs and inclusion or wellbeing and creativity, this is the course for you.
Study education in its broadest sense - lifelong and life wide.
Engage with education beyond the classroom.
Experience engaged and inclusive teaching and learning.
We encourage the voice of our students from the start: we invite you to join our Student Committee and/or to become Course Representatives and attend the monthly feedback meetings; or to work as Student Ambassadors to spread the messages about the programme and your student experience which you want out there. Tell us how we are doing and together let us continue to build our programme student community for each of us to keep becoming the best we can be.
