# Education - BA (Hons)

This BA (Hons) in Education is a unique course in Scotland. The course is interdisciplinary, informed by cutting-edge research in education, psychology, ecology and sociology. You will study educational systems, policies, and practices, as well as the social, psychological, cultural and colonial factors that influence education.

This innovative, modern course will prepare you to enter a range of education-related professional careers. You might pursue opportunities in community learning and development, outdoor learning, museums, education administration, curriculum development, educational technology, international aid settings, policy work, and more. The course could also be an excellent foundation to become a primary teacher via a postgraduate route.

This unique course nurtures critical-thinking abilities and sharpens research skills. It provides community-based placements and hands-on experience, allowing you to explore your interests in education. The course benefits from QMU’s Outdoor Learning Hub , which supports practical approaches to learning for sustainability on campus. Additionally, an international exchange opportunity to Australia, Canada, or the USA  (subject to availability) adds a global perspective to your education journey.
