Education / History

About this course

Education and history is a combination that develops both an understanding of how learning and teaching work and a deep engagement with the human past. Education, studied as an academic discipline rather than as teacher training, draws on sociology, psychology, philosophy, and policy to examine how societies transmit knowledge and values, how educational systems are structured, and who benefits from them.
