Education is at the heart of global efforts to create more fair and equal societies. Based at the world-leading UCL Institute of Education, this interdisciplinary degree draws on sociology, philosophy, psychology, and history, to provide our students with the critical tools necessary to reflect on education and society, and to become leaders of social and political change.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

Students complete 120 credits per academic year, which are usually divided into eight modules, spread evenly over two teaching terms.

This is an interdisciplinary programme, and the degree is therefore stuctured to give students a broad set of social science skills with which to become leading educational practitioners, social science researchers, and policy makers, who are able to think, write and anlayse from a variety of theoretical and subject-based viewpoints about the ways in which humans both develop and flourish throughout their lives.

Therefore, the first year of this degree provides a broad overview of education studies as a discipline, and modules provide an introduction into the degree's core subject disciplines (sociology, psychology, philosophy and history). As students progress into years two and three the course, they can either choose modules that maintain this broad subject focus, or instead construct a specialist pathway more closely aligned with their interests, and plans for further work and/or study.

As a result, in years one and two, students combine both core and optional modules (see below). In year three, students get to chose all of their modules, and have the opportunity to conduct independent research into a specific topic as part of their dissertation, in a specialist subject area of their choice.

Please note that this degree does not lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), but students can apply for a one-year teacher training programme in primary and a limited number of secondary subjects after completing the degree.

Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BA (Hons) in Education Studies.
