Summary

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.

An education studies degree at Bahçeşehir Cyprus University offers you breadth of study, but also provides direction, by giving you three possible pathways to pursue:

  • Working in Education. This route will prepare you well for graduate employment in schools and other educational settings.
  • Diversity and Inclusion in Education. The ideal pathway for graduate professional work, giving you the skills to work with the diversity of students that attend mainstream schools but also in more of a specialist unit or a central, local or private organisation.

You’ll be well qualified to investigate issues and concerns as a professional working in a variety of organisations (such as schools, higher education colleges and charities in the voluntary or public sector).
