Here at Bradford College, we believe in
transforming lives through education – that’s
why we named our School of Education after
Margaret McMillan, a pioneer in education
who truly cared about the welfare of children
in Bradford. If you like the idea of working with
children, young people and adults, a degree
in Education will give you the opportunity to
develop their learning and development.
We have a varied selection of Education degrees
to choose from that blend theory with practice.
All our courses teach you how to become an
education practitioner who takes a creative
approach to teaching and learning, thinks
outside the box, is an advocate for people’s
wellbeing, and can meet the needs of
diverse communities.
In our Education Studies BA (Hons) programme,
you will study where, how and why people learn,
explore different education systems from around
the world, and learn the basics of social and
educational policy.
You will get the opportunity to go on a work
placement within an alternative educational
setting such as special educational needs,
early years, theatre in education, education
departments in museums and environmental
education. A BA (Hons) Education Studies is also
a direct route into teaching and you will receive
Qualified Teaching Status (QTS) upon successful
completion of the degree.
Supporting Managing and Learning in Education
is a great programme for teaching assistants
and support staff who want to go into teaching,
mixing learning at the College with a placement
in an education setting. We offer a foundation
degree programme which can then be topped
up into a full undergraduate degree.
We have designed varied routes so you can develop
professional practice appropriate to your context,
role and interests. The intention is that by working
together we will help you to achieve your goals.
Perhaps you have been in education for a while
and want to progress onto a leadership or
management role or enhance your organisational
knowledge and practice. If so, our Masters in
Education and MA in Professional Practice are
flexible and accessible postgraduate degrees
that will qualify you for a leadership role in the
education sector.

“The staff at Bradford College are amazing! I returned to education in 2016
to learn new ways to support my children. The staff supported my needs,
motivated me and encouraged me to look at my strengths, rather than my
weaknesses. They helped me overcome the challenges I faced while completing
my degree. I am the first to graduate in my family, and this is an honour.”
