The Education BA at Brunel offers you the opportunity to combine the study of education with professional practice to give you a pathway into a range of education professions and postgraduate professional study including teacher education. Whether you are looking to explore education related fields - such as counselling, educational psychology, social services, local authority work, social work, administration and education management - or you already know you want to teach, Brunel’s Education BA will give you a strong foundation from which to build. The course will equip you with a broad and balanced view of educational theory, policy and practice within a range of educational contexts. You will also have numerous opportunities to develop a range of transferable skills such as critical reflection, systematic analysis, communication, collaboration, presentation and writing skills. When it comes to professional practice, the Education BA includes three integrated work placements to give you the opportunity to explore different educational settings. To help you manage your time, you can do your placement experience weekly or in a block over the holidays. We are also proud to introduce our RJC Accredited module and qualification in Restorative Practice, a sort after qualification in schools and other education settings.
