Education

The Education course examines how people grow, learn and change across all stages of life and in all kinds of contexts, from individual cognitive development to the social and political dynamics that shape communities, institutions and global networks, as well as the cultural exchanges that influence ideas, beliefs and imagination. The course invites you to engage with these themes across a range of academic disciplines or to focus more deeply on areas such as psychology, international development, philosophy, or literature and theatre. Creativity, contemporary research and global perspectives underpin this critical exploration, and the programme places particular emphasis on fostering strong research skills through reflective inquiry.

More detailed information about the Tripos is available on the Faculty website.

Education at Murray Edwards

Education is a small but dynamic and deeply collaborative subject. You will join a tight-knit group of students studying Education at Murray Edwards. Our Director of Studies works with our students and with students in other nearby Colleges, meaning you will work within a cohort of students working across the different areas of the course. 

College teaching is provided in the form of one-to-one and small group supervisions. Supervisors are drawn, where required, from across the University for their expertise and experience.
