How do people learn? What gets in the way of learning? Where might people learn best – and how? Do we need schools? Is it possible to ‘school the world? Can education make a difference to human rights? Women's rights? Nationally? Globally?

We are proud of our highly contemporary, reactive and issues-based course that has been carefully designed to give you that ‘bigger picture of education in a global society. An Education Studies degree from BGU will equip you well for the future, no matter what your career destination, but if you are planning to go on to teach you will find that our modules will open your eyes to some different ways of thinking about education and its purpose and place in society.
