EDUCATION STUDIES
This one-year Level 6 Top-Up programme builds on the prior Foundation
Degree/HND/Level 5 study of students who want to progress to achieving
a full BA (Hons) degree. The programme explores key themes in education
including technology, globalisation and reflective practice, deepening your
understanding of educational philosophies, research methods, inclusion,
curriculum design, and contemporary issues in the education sector. You will
complete a dissertation on a current issue in education and benefit from guest
lectures, research opportunities and engagement with debates, all of which
build critical thinking, employability and career prospects. This full time oneyear programme is taught across two evenings per week, making it highly
accessible for those with employment or other commitments during the day.
