Ian Chuck - BA (Hons) Education Studies
This course is excellent preparation for those who want to be teachers and for those who are looking to work in education.
”Why Education Studies?
I wanted to be a teacher; however I was unsure about the possible routes to take. Education studies is a definite route that should be looked into when considering education as a whole. The course, while being challenging and demanding, is engaging and interactive at many opportunities. It also allows you to sit back and realise the many different forms of education available in this world. If you are interested in education and the huge role it plays in this world consider signing up to Education Studies at the University of Derby.
About the course
The course in itself is very broad and diverse in the modules you will study. It offers many opportunities to study sociology aspects of education, the psychology of education as well as considering the history of education. There are elements of the curriculum, both foreign and domestic, and the chance to do some work placement. The course offers a huge variety of options for those studying education to move forward in life and begin to challenge the notion and concept of education in our world. This course is excellent preparation for those who want to be teachers and for those who are looking to work in education.
