Description
Our Joint BA (Hons) Education and Sociology degree at Birmingham will provide you with an opportunity to study Education and Sociology in equal proportions to Honours degree level.
Students will combine the study of key issues facing contemporary societies with the study of educational practices; processes and applications in a range of contexts and settings.
Our students learn about the education as a dynamic process of human, cultural, economic, and social development that is fundamental to a changing, globalised world. Education combines ideas and research from education, psychology, sociology, philosophy and history.
You will also be introduced to sociology as a discipline that is both theoretically informed and evidence based. You will learn about key issues facing contemporary societies, including globalisation, the changing nature of work and the family, gender roles and multiculturalism. You will study the nature and appropriate use of research strategies and methods in sociological research and be knowledgeable on cutting-edge debates in contemporary sociology.
As a Joint Honours student you will work at exactly the same level and to the same academic standard as students taking that subject in a Single Honours programme.
The course has a practical focus on career development and will help you display a broad knowledge over two disciplines.
The programme includes a placement in your second year so that you can apply your knowledge to work with children and young people in a professional setting.
