This distinctive interdisciplinary programme provides you with the critical tools necessary to examine education, society and culture. You will join the world-leading IOE, UCLs Faculty of Education and Society, and learn from academic disciplines including history, philosophy, sociology and psychology. The programme is flexible, allowing you to follow your interests as you gain subject-specific and transferable skills that will enable you to succeed in the modern workplace and impact societal issues. This is an interdisciplinary degree programme, which is structured to give students a broad set of social science skills with which to become leading educational practitioners, social science researchers and policy makers. Our students are introduced to a variety of theoretical frameworks, and learn how to think about, write about and analyse the ways in which humans develop and flourish throughout their lives across social and cultural contexts and institutions.
