Education

Education is one of the most powerful means for change and growth in the modern world. If you are interested in the psychology, politics or social and cultural contexts of education and learning, you can study it on our Education course.

The course at Cambridge is a rigorous and rewarding interdisciplinary degree. Students have the opportunity to choose thier own pathway, which will allow them to specialise on one area, or pursue a multidisciplinary approach. Core papers may include:

• Introduction to Education Systems and Disciplines;
• Learning and Human Development;
• Education, Creativity and Culture;
• Education and Social Justice;
• Language, Communication and Literacies;
• Play, Creativities and Imagination;
• Modernity, Globalisation and Education;
• Designing Educational Research.

In the first year, students will attend four to six lectures and seminars, and one or two hours of supervision per week. Students are assessed at the end of each year and depending on the papers studied, this will be through written examination, coursework, or a combination of both. In the third year, all students will also submit a dissertation.
