Book a campus tour

Explore and analyse how children and young people learn and develop. Our interdisciplinary approach to the subject draws on a range of social sciences.

Education with Psychology is a social science degree that blends sociological, psychological, political and philosophical perspectives.

This degree encourages you to examine in depth the social and developmental contexts of childhood and youth. You’ll study topics like:

how educational and governmental practices and policies impact learning
the barriers to education, learning and wellbeing faced by many young people around the world
contemporary issues and challenges that affect children, families and young people.

You’ll explore government priorities relating to children’s lives and wellbeing and develop skills in evaluating policy and practice. With the knowledge you’ll gain from research methods, and core and optional units, you will be able to specialise according to your interests. You will also apply your knowledge through a dissertation or project on a topic of your choice.

The course includes an optional professional placement with an approved organisation. During this, you’ll work with or for children and young people.

With the support of our academic staff, you’ll develop the skills needed to positively impact young people’s lives.

Informed teaching to advance your learning

You’ll learn from teaching staff with interdisciplinary expertise. Their passion, knowledge and research inform our teaching, which provides a flexible, high-quality learning experience that is interactive, engaging and student-focussed.

Their teaching aims to help you apply interdisciplinary knowledge to complex real-life situations related to education and child development, as well as children and young people’s lives, mental health, and family life.

Develop your professional skills

All units on this course will support the development of skills that prepare you for graduate positions, or for a professional placement.

In addition, there are specific units in years 1 and 2 that have been designed to support your ongoing development of a wide range of employability skills. These units are built on in the final year of study and through the professional placement, if you choose this option.

Prepare for your future

The breadth and interdisciplinary nature of this degree paves the way for a range of careers. These include:

primary, secondary, and international school teaching
language teaching
mental health related specialisms
further training in educational and/or clinical psychology
charities and non-government organisations
postgraduate research
family outreach work

Recent graduates have been accepted to the Teach First scheme, have continued their studies on educational and clinical psychology pathways, and have gained employment in mental health-related charities such as MIND.

Units

At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme. Some of our courses also offer the opportunity for you to study optional units. These allow you to specialise in particular areas of knowledge that interest you.

As an undergraduate, you will be expected to take 60 credits (ECTS) in each academic year. These are usually split into 30 credits for each semester you study. 60 credits are the equivalent of 1,200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning.

Learning and assessment

You’ll be taught and assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject.

Assessment

Learning and teaching

Contact hours

Timetabled contact hours, which may be made up of lectures and seminars, vary throughout your course and between courses but are typically between 10 and 15 hours a week in your first year.

Our teaching for this course is delivered through in-person learning on campus, supported by high quality online provision. A small proportion of these contact hours may be delivered online, with the significant majority taught on campus. This may be supplemented by additional activities such as a small number of online learning sessions (not live), skills development sessions, and personal tutorials.

The amount of timetabled sessions on campus in later years may vary based on the options you choose, with a greater emphasis on independent learning. Project and dissertation units will generally have fewer scheduled sessions to allow you time for your independent work – this may also mean the number of hours of timetabled sessions each week will vary within a year.

Independent learning

In addition to timetabled contact hours, you are expected to undertake independent learning and assessment activities. Typically, this might be around 20 to 30 hours per week in your first year, and include individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing coursework assignments, presentations, or revising for exams. After your first year, the emphasis on independent learning becomes greater, for example during your final year project or dissertation. You will be expected to work on your own and as part of a group.

Assessment breakdown

You will be assessed by a range of methods designed to develop and test your skills and knowledge. A broad range of assessment methods will be used throughout the degree including examinations, essays, reports and presentations.

As a guide, approximately 60-80% of your course will be assessed through coursework with the remaining 20-40% through examination. The balance of assessment methods will vary throughout your degree and may depend on the optional units you choose.

You will primarily be assessed as an individual but may also be assessed as part of a group.

In your final year you will be expected to complete a dissertation or final year project.

We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information. 

Recognition of professional qualifications

As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).

The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.

The United Kingdom currently subscribes to The Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications (MRPQ) Directive. The MRPQ Directive provides a reciprocal framework of rules which enables European Economic Area (EEA) and Swiss nationals to have their professional qualifications recognised in a state other than the one in which the qualification was obtained. In the event of a no deal Brexit, from 1 January 2021, the MRPQ Directive will no longer apply to the UK. However, it is anticipated that there will be a new system for recognising professional qualifications between the UK, EEA, and Switzerland.
