About this course

- Opportunity to put theory into practice in a community placement and enhance your employability.

  • Develop your knowledge and understanding of the education systems of Scotland and beyond.

  • Joint Honours Education graduates will be able to explore postgraduate routes into teaching careers (via the PGDE).

  • Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen subject(s).

  • Career opportunities to work in professions associated with education, for example, in law, psychology, journalism, the Civil Service, and the Museums Service.

    Please note: studying law within the BA degree will not qualify you for entry to the legal profession. For professional qualifications in Law, students should follow the LLB programme.

    This course is part of our flexible BA Humanities and Social Science Degree programme. With our BA (Honours) degree you can choose from subjects in Humanities, Social Sciences and Business, with two of your three subject choices taught by the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

    The BA degree is a three year course and the Honours degree is normally a four year course. This allows you to try new subjects, develop your own ideas, develop a broad range of knowledge and enhance your employability.

    You should only enter one of the UCAS codes on your application form. Acceptance on one of these subject codes will enable you to study any combination of subjects. Only one application will be considered. This is lifted from page 50 of the prospectus.
