BA Education Studies - Geography (with Foundation Year) at Durham University

[email protected]


Education Studies is a broad multidisciplinary degree, designed for the intellectually and practically curious. If you are fascinated by the geographical and economic aspects of education, this is the course for you.


Are you interested in why people learn in different ways? Do you want to find out more about barriers to learning and how learning supports childhood development? Maybe you’d like to know more about the ways in which politics can impact education and education in diverse cultures? Maybe you’d like to know more about the ways in which global events impact education.


The BA Education Studies – Geography combines study of the education process with current issues in geography, offering you the opportunity to explore topics as diverse as childhood development and global economic change.


From the philosophical foundations of schooling to the political implications of policy, education is a vast field that has multiple avenues to approach a seemingly straightforward subject. Our degree goes far beyond any classroom and considers education, people and their relationship to the ever-changing world.


The curriculum draws on research carried out in the School to keep the course content relevant and up to date. The breadth of modules allows you to create your own pathway through the course. As well as the Geography pathway, we offer pathways in Sociology and Psychology, or you can choose to focus purely on Education Studies.


This BA will prepare you for a career in many different areas, both in the education sector and further afield. It can provide the first step towards a career as a teacher or researcher, and supports roles in publishing, policy making, the voluntary and public sectors, as well as many more.


The School of Education's students graduate with a broad range of transferable skills which open the door to careers across a wide range of sectors in the education sector and beyond.


Our BA in Primary Education offers the opportunity to gain Qualified Teacher Status with most graduates progressing directly into teaching. Graduates of the BA in Education Studies degrees move into a diverse range of roles including educational research, publishing, education administration, policy making and management as well as roles in the commercial or public sector. Some students choose further study, progressing to doctoral programmes, while others choose a Masters degree or a PGCE in Primary or Secondary Education.
