Education Studies
We offer a vision of higher education which places as much importance on the personal, social, ethical and spiritual development of the student as it does on becoming a specialist in a particular subject discipline.
We believe that a course of study in Higher Education is more than just its content. In our view Higher Education means learning about ourselves at the same time as we learn about our subject.We hope that our students, in addition to studying, will also want to embrace learning as a way of life, and that these experiences together will constitute the relevance and substance of what is ‘higher’ in Higher Education.To this end all our programmes share some core modules in addition to considering their own specialism in more detail.
Putting this vision into practice means:
First, offering you the chance to challenge your ideas about the world against perspectives which try to explain the way we live.
Second, it means support for your learning so that you always know that someone is interested in your development.
Third, it means we will push you to succeed beyond your own expectations of yourself.
If we are successful, you will be aware at the end of your third year of the possibilities that the world offers you and of the ways in which you can serve the wider community.
Many of our graduates tell us that they leave with a faith in learning, which lasts them well beyond the institution.
