Undergraduate Prospectus 2017 | Education and Philosophy

Education and
Philosophy
Education and philosophy explore the ways in
which people learn and think, which can influence
the lives of individuals or wider society.
At Keele, our Philosophy course benefits from cutting-edge research
and offers a friendly and nurturing environment, allowing you to
explore the latest ideas and develop critical thinking amongst your
classmates. You might del ve into subjects from poverty and power
to pragmatism and metaphysics; and with our lovely campus to
wander around on, you won’t be short of space to think.
Our Education course explores education from different angles,
from how it affects people’s life chances to how it shapes their
identities. It perfectly integrates into other areas of study, such as
social policy, management, philosophy, sociology or history. You’ll
be set for a career leading to teaching, following further professional
study, or other work in schools, in community work, in educational
leadership and management, or further academic study.

Rebecca Laird

Philosophy (major) with Education, Third year
I would definitely recommend both these subjects! Philosophy
gives you new outlooks on life, everything in it and what is
means to exist. Even if you haven’t studied the subject before,
the course is designed so that you are gradually introduced
into the different theories. Education is brilliant because not
only do you learn about the history of our education system
and how it has changed over the years, but you learn about
how different children learn, the impact play has on children
and the research that has been conducted within the subject.
