Education Studies undergraduate degrees

Be part of an innovative interdisciplinary approach to Education Studies.

Education Studies at the University of Warwick explores and analyses education through the disciplines of Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy, Politics and History. In our flexible, interdisciplinary degree we address key themes such as childhood, creativity, inequalities, and diversity. It can open doors to many careers in education and beyond.

We critically analyse education in a fast-changing globalised world, and our degree will engage you in the contemporary debates about learning and learners. You’ll think sociologically and philosophically as you grapple with the purpose of education for society and in individuals' lives. We’ll introduce you to psychology in education and how this shapes the understanding of children and childhood. You’ll develop your understanding of contemporary educational policy at both global and local levels while exploring the history and development of educational institutions and systems.
