Education is something that happens at all stages of our lives, not just in childhood. It allows us to develop our thoughts and ideas, progress in our careers and learn more about the world in which we live.
Whether your interest lies in working with children with special educational needs, working in a museum as an educator, youth work, professional development in a private organisation, or making a contribution to the wider field of education, a BA Education Studies will give you a strong grounding for your career.
The degree is also excellent preparation for postgraduate teacher education and further study at master’s level.

Students are evaluated through their work and performance and are subject to different types of assessment depending on the requirements of individual courses. The types of assessment include written exams (in class, take-home or open-book exams), presentations, portfolios, essays, reports or projects. Individual courses may differ in terms of their assessment breakdowns. Students may receive a “Satisfactory” (S) or “Unsatisfactory” (U) grade for courses that do not have any credits.
If a student fails to complete the course requirements within the specified timeline, he/she is expected to contact the course lecturer to be given an Incomplete grade (I). This means that the student is expected to complete tasks, exams and/or coursework within two weeks after the submission of the grades. At the end of this timeframe, the “I” grades are changed by the lecturer to a letter grade as corresponding to the student’s total mark. If the student fails to complete the required work, then the “I” grade automatically changes to “FF” at the beginning of the next semester.
The student must complete 240 ECTS and all programme requirements. A minimum cumulative grade point average (CPA) of 2.0 is required. Thus, although a ‘D-‘is a PASS grade, in order to achieve a CPA of 2.0 an average grade of ‘C’ is required.
