Education and Learning

Teaching, learning and schooling shape lives. But how do we learn? Why are our experiences of education so varied? How do we promote equality in education and training? The University of Bolton's BA (Hons) Education and Learning degree taught by The Growth Company in Manchester offers you an exciting opportunity to explore these and other vital education issues in depth.

This fascinating degree allows you to study a balanced combination of current educational policy and the history, sociology, philosophy and psychology of education. Taught by The Growth Company in Manchester, this BA (Hons) Education and Learning degree offers an excellent opportunity to explore in-depth some of the key current issues affecting education in the UK and abroad.

Key themes in this course include critical and reflective thinking, equality and diversity. By thinking about how we learn consciously and subconsciously, we'll explore how formal learning, alongside acquired knowledge, shapes our lives, interests and value structures.

We also encourage you to research and analyse a range of educational practices and reflect on your own and others' experiences of education. This will help you think critically about learning and teaching, and how education is perceived and received.

You'll be well prepared for postgraduate studies when you complete this course successfully. Although the course doesn't lead directly to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), you'll have first-hand experience in schools or other educational establishments to support your application for teacher training.
