BA(Hons) Education in Professional Practice

Why study education in professional practice?

Working in education is highly rewarding. It's an area where you can truly make a difference and improve people's lives.  Working with children or adults in schools, colleges or elsewhere in the community, you help people live fulfilled lives, build positive relationships and make contributions of their own. 

Studying education in professional practice will help you progress your career in education and related fields. You'll increase your knowledge and relate your existing experience to educational theory. It's an opportunity to share ideas with peers and learn new theories and approaches from research-active tutors.
