Education and Teaching is an incredibly rewarding field. The aim of a degree in this area is usually (but not always) to equip students with the skills, knowledge and understanding to enter into the teaching profession. Throughout their studies, students will develop an understanding of how people learn, how best to support those learning processes, as well as exploring the different contexts in which teaching takes place.
The course should also provide students with invaluable transferable skills such as communication, organisation, problem solving, critical thinking and creativity - traits that can be applied within any profession. Students will gain experience both in theory-based learning – exploring educational theories and practices – as well as practical placements in schools or other educational settings where they can put these skills into practice.
By earning a degree in Education and Teaching students could join a large community of professionals dedicated to creating positive learning environments for children from all backgrounds across the UK. This experience comes with its own rewards - helping young minds achieve their potential while also gaining insight into what it takes to make a difference in education today.
Universities host many events in the Education and Teaching subject areas, for students, school colleagues and parents and guardians. You can browse these here.
