About us
The Department of Education is a thriving academic community with a strong national and international reputation for research. We offer a variety of taught programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Undergraduate provision currently comprises the BA in Coach Education and Sports Development and the FdSC and BSc in Sports Performance which capitalise upon the University of Bath's status as the English Institute of Sport for the South West, its excellent sports facilities and the elite squad of athletes and coaches which comprise Team Bath. A new undergraduate programme was introduced in 2009; the BA in Childhood, Youth and Education Studies.
The Department also runs teacher training programmes as well as a wide range of high quality Masters courses, aimed at qualified and experienced teachers, lecturers, trainers, educational managers and administrators who wish to engage in advanced study in education and offering specialisms as diverse as educational leadership and management, environmental education or learning and teaching. We also offer an MA in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and more recently an MA in Coach Education and Sports Development.
The Department prides itself upon the quality of its teaching and provision for students.
We host approximately 40 academic and research staff and over 100 students on doctoral programmes (MRes, MPhil, PhD, EdD) studying full-time and part-time both here on campus and throughout the world.
