Our exciting Studyabroad@Social Sciences programme gives a wide choice to undergraduate international students looking to study with us for a semester or up to a year.
Please visit our @studyabroad hub to find out about more pathway options.
The Education pathway offers an excellent opportunity for students to gain a thorough understanding of educational policy from a UK perspective. The pathway provides a good grounding in educational theory and an awareness of current research concerned with the principles of leading and managing in educational or training contexts. The pathway also provides opportunities to develop study skills and examine various research methods in Education. This pathway is linked to our three MSc programmes including MSc Management and Leadership, MSc Practice and Innovation plus a more flexible MSc Education.
The pathway can be studied for one or two semesters. You will study four modules per semester. Please choose introductory and optional modules up to a maximum of six in each semester. This will give up to two reserve choices in case optional modules are not available for any reason.
