Education and Early Years
Education transforms lives through understanding the philosophies and practice of teaching and learning. We cater to students with a burning passion to support others in their educational journeys as well as those with a desire to advance research into education and pedagogy.

For me the quality of the teaching was paramount and evidently effective in the value added to my learning journey. I entered the course with average or below FE grades and exited with a First-Class Honours degree achieving over 80%. I believe this improvement is largely down to the commitment of the lecturers to make the learning accessible in a range of ways to align with how their students learn.
