Education - BA (Hons)

Education has the power to transform lives, shape societies and address some of the world's most pressing challenges. On this degree at Liverpool Hope University, you'll explore how learning influences individuals and communities, while examining the social, cultural, political and economic forces that shape education across the UK and internationally.  You'll investigate contemporary issues including inequality, inclusion, digital technology, sustainability and social justice, drawing on perspectives from psychology, sociology, philosophy and history. Throughout the course, you'll be encouraged to question assumptions, evaluate evidence and develop your own informed views on the future of education.  Learning takes place through lectures, seminars, collaborative discussion and independent research, giving you the opportunity to engage with current debates and apply theory to real-world contexts. As you progress, you'll specialise in areas that interest you and complete an independent research project with dedicated academic support.  Whether you're passionate about improving educational opportunities, influencing policy or understanding how people learn, this degree will equip you with the knowledge, confidence and critical thinking skills to make a difference.
