Education Studies is an increasingly popular undergraduate degree course, investigating the key issues in education both past and present, and developing students' critical thinking.

For each topic, an overview is followed by discussion of a key topic from a variety of perspectives, including Research Summary and Pause for Thought boxes to promote reflection and analysis.
