Education is a powerful tool for social change, and this degree is designed to help you wield it. By exploring the interplay between formal and informal education, you will investigate how learning can be used to challenge systemic inequalities, empower marginalised communities, and drive meaningful societal progress. This is not a programme confined to a lecture hall; it is a highly immersive, hands-on experience that places you in the heart of the educational landscape.

You will benefit from a unique structure where students are typically on campus just two days per week, providing the flexibility to balance your studies with work, independent research, or professional placements. Speaking of which, practice-based learning is a cornerstone of the curriculum—every year of the programme involves dedicated placements in schools, community settings, or alternative education environments. You will also have the opportunity to expand your global perspective through international placements or study-abroad semesters.
