About this course
Why study BA Education at GoldsmithsYou'll gain an understanding of the role of education in diverse societies and how the education system continues to be shaped by social, political and economic factors. You'll use this knowledge to address a broad range of themes and ideas including gender in the early years, alternatives to schooling, mental health and wellbeing, and institutional racism. You’ll be encouraged to think about the ways people are excluded from education and society, and explore possible reasons for - and alternatives to - this. We're interested in the tensions that can arise in a system that advocates education for all but mediates against the full participation of some groups. We are proud of the strong creativity strand that permeates the programme and reflects our expertise in visual and performing arts. If you are interested in employment in the creative industries, with a focus on education, this is the degree for you. You’ll have the opportunity to gain work experience at a range of organisations. Previous students have worked on literacy with Bengali women, developed educational materials at a city farm, and put together an art exhibition at a pupil referral unit for excluded secondary school students. If you already practice in an education or community setting, we’ll work with you so you can use your experience to inform your studies. Past students have interviewed young people they have been supporting, and have created resources for children with special educational needs from countries where they have connections, such as Ghana and Slovakia.
Develop your knowledge of the education system in the UK and beyond. You'll explore policy issues with a focus on social justice and equality, and understand education from a multidisciplinary perspective.
