Education and Politics and International Relations
- Study level:
- Undergraduate
Course summary
Education is an interesting field of study in its own right. You will learn about formal and informal education in relation to political and social issues. As a politics student, you'll look at the work of governments and their policies and study the behaviour of those who govern - and who they are governing - both at home and abroad. You'll also gain knowledge of domestic and international institutions and issues relating to conflict and cooperation.
Why Education and Politics and International Relations at Strathclyde?
Benefit from award-winning international academics engaged in real-world research in various fields including elections and voting, public policy, political parties, comparative political systems, international relations and security studies.
Opportunity to put theory into practice in a community placement and enhance your employability.
Develop your knowledge and understanding of the education systems of Scotland and beyond.
Experience research-informed, evidence-based teaching by internationally-recognised professionals.
Combining education with other subjects provides opportunities for those who wish to work in professions associated with education, but who don't wish necessarily to become teachers.
Your Career
Our graduates will have opportunities to work in professions associated with education, for example, in law, psychology, journalism, the Civil Service, and the Museums Service. A joint Honours degree in Education and another subject will qualify you to apply for the Professional Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) course, either primary or secondary.
