The course at Cambridge is a rigorous and rewarding interdisciplinary degree. You follow one of three tracks, combining in-depth study of a particular field of interest with an examination of wider educational and social issues.
The Education, Psychology and Learning track focuses on education from a psychological perspective; exploring human development and education in a variety of social and cultural environments.
In Education, Policy and International Development you consider historical and contemporary discussions concerning these areas, and educationÕs role in economic and social change.
Education, English, Drama and the Arts combines the study of drama and/or English literature with key issues in education, such as debates around creativity, learning and culture.
Facilities and resources
The Faculty of Education has excellent resources and state-of-the-art research facilities, including a psychology observation laboratory and a library that houses one of the UKÕs best education collections. Active research forms the foundation of our teaching. YouÕre taught by academics who are at the forefront of their fields and who specialise in cutting-edge educational research.
