Overview
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.
