Studying an Education degree at Swansea will give you a range of skills and knowledge, opening up the potential for exciting and rewarding careers in education and related areas.
On our three-year BA Education, you will study education, psychology, philosophy, history, and the social sciences.
You can explore policy and politics, leadership and management, educational practice in a digital age, learning and teaching, education in other countries, diversity and wellbeing in education, child development and educational neuroscience.
You also have the opportunity to undertake work placements in organisations such as schools, local authorities, business and charities to enhance your student experience and your career prospects.
The degree is designed for UK, EU and international students, and it considers education in a wide context – it is not confined to formal primary and secondary school settings, but also covers further and higher education, social services, local and national government, and education in the community.
Some 94% of UK Education graduates overall are in employment or in further study six months after graduation (DHLE 2016).
Our Education degree provides an ideal route into careers such as early years teaching, play therapy, teaching English as a foreign language, education administration, community development work, education research, and roles in local authorities, community education and education publishing.
It also opens up potential careers in education departments in museums, galleries and theatres, local and national government and social services.
To become a teacher, you will need an additional ITE/PGCE qualification.
Based on our stunning Singleton Park campus, in parkland overlooking Swansea Bay on the edge of the Gower Peninsula, the course is flexible and can be tailored to suit your interests.
You can specialise in learning in a digital age, and you can explore digital learning technologies, which are central to current trends in education theory and practice.
You will use a variety of learning approaches, which will help you develop a range of practical and transferable skills in observation, interpretation, information processing and presentation, all of which are highly valued by employers.
You can also choose to take modules from other subject areas within the College of Arts and Humanities. These include Applied Linguistics modules, which are excellent preparation if you are planning to take professional qualifications or work relating to teaching English as a foreign language.
In the final year, you will complete an independent research-based dissertation, developing your knowledge and skills and delving more deeply into an aspect of education which most interests you.
