The BA (Hons) Education, Digital Learning and Technology examines how technology is transforming education in schools, colleges, universities and community settings. You’ll explore digital learning, online education, access and inclusion, and the ethical challenges of an increasingly digital society.
The course encourages you to think critically about technology rather than simply learning how to use it. You’ll consider how digital tools affect learners’ experiences, wellbeing and opportunities, and how education can respond responsibly to technological change.
This degree is ideal for students interested in future-focused education roles, digital learning design and inclusive approaches to technology in education. It also provides a strong foundation for postgraduate study and professional development.
Please note: modules for this course are still undergoing validation. They will be added to this page once the process has been completed.
This course is taught through a combination of interactive lectures, seminars, workshops and placement experiences.
You’ll engage in small group seminars which encourage discussion and debate with your peers.
Assessment is predominantly coursework-based, using case studies, portfolios, presentations and research projects to evaluate your progress. While the majority of our assessments are designed to reflect real educational practice, a small number of exams are included to support the development of key academic skills such as critical thinking, reading efficiently and managing time effectively.
We give you opportunities to apply your learning in real-world settings, ensuring you graduate with the confidence and experience to support inclusive education in your future career.
