Education Studies

About this course

Education studies is a discipline that examines education as a social, political, and cultural phenomenon, asking what education is for, how it works in practice, who benefits and who is excluded, and how educational systems reflect and reproduce the societies they serve. It draws on sociology, philosophy, psychology, and history to build a critical and evidence-based understanding of formal and informal learning across the life course, from early childhood to higher and continuing education. Education studies develops graduates who can think analytically about educational institutions and policies, not just operate within them. At Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, this programme provides a rigorous grounding in educational thought and practice. The degree examines learning, teaching, curriculum, assessment, inclusion, and the policy landscape of education in Scotland and internatio
