Students taking education as part of a combined honours degree are given the opportunity to study education as a process and an academic subject, building on and developing their own knowledge, understanding and experience.

The focus is on a range of core courses that look at contemporary issues, processes and approaches in education. Those following the education major route also follow a course in ICT in education.

In the first year studies focus on aspects of contemporary education at the national policy level and on the nature of learning. In the following year, students study a number of core courses that cover, for example, equity and evaluation issues in education, and up to two options selected from a range of specialist subjects including education management, early years education, later (adolescent) years, children's literature, educational thought and philosophical theory, vocational education, and others currently being developed. In the final year, the focus is on research in education, together with an individual project or further in-depth study of an option.

Education courses are taught by the School of Education and Training at either the Avery Hill or Medway Campus. Avery Hill students may be required to travel between campuses, depending on their selected combination.
