Education Studies explores how people learn across schools, colleges, and community settings. You will examine curriculum theory, inclusive pedagogy, assessment, and education policy. Campus-based micro-teaching sessions build confidence; school placements in Years 2 and 3 connect theory to practice. The programme welcomes students pursuing PGCE routes or education roles in NGOs and government.
Partnerships with Edinburgh schools provide structured observation and mentoring placements.
