History with Education Studies BA (Hons)

About

Combine your study of History with education modules, enhancing your employability across two dynamic disciplines. You'll explore modern and contemporary history through an innovative, globally focused curriculum that covers European and non-European histories. Dive into topics such as colonialism, immigration, decolonisation, gender, ethnicity, and conflict, gaining a deeper understanding of our globalised world.

In parallel, you'll engage with education, childhood, and lifelong learning, discussing and debating educational structures, policies, and practices. This course sharpens your ability to critically analyse and communicate complex information. As you advance, you’ll deepen your historical interests and be challenged by expert academics in a dynamic learning environment that combines varied teaching and assessment methods.

Discover British, South Asian, European, African, and American histories while exploring specialist topics like the history of photography and sport. You'll also analyse perspectives on education and special educational needs. Gain access to DMU’s rich historical collections, including the Stephen Lawrence Papers and the Kodak collection at Kimberlin Library, to enrich your learning experience.

Combine History and Education to enhance your employability and prepare for diverse career paths across two dynamic disciplines.

Gain hands-on experience through placements and internships at sites like the King Richard III visitor centre, regional newspapers, and teaching opportunities abroad.

Explore global perspectives on modern and contemporary history, with access to exclusive archives, museums, and DMU’s unique historical collections at the Kimberlin Library.

Develop critical and analytical skills through the study of historical sources and historiography, equipping you for postgraduate study or careers in various sectors.

Benefit from inclusive learning designed to support all learners, ensuring a supportive and diverse educational environment.

You deserve a positive teaching and learning experience, where you feel part of a supportive and nurturing community. That’s why most students will enjoy an innovative approach to learning using block teaching, where you will study one module at a time. You’ll benefit from regular assessments – rather than lots of exams at the end of the year – and a simple timetable that allows you to engage with your subject and enjoy other aspects of university life such as sports, societies, meeting friends and discovering your new city. By studying with the same peers and tutor for each block, you’ll build friendships and a sense of belonging. Read more about block teaching.
