Education is an academic and professional study which focuses on contemporary issues of direct concern to those working in a wide range of education services, including teachers. Education courses give you the knowledge and skills to understand and assess education theory, practice and policy issues. Staff teach courses linked to their own areas of research expertise in schooling and youth issues, educational psychology and counselling, education policy and theory, media and technology issues and young people, human development and behaviour, early childhood, Māori and Pacific education and more. The study of Education will give you transferable knowledge, skills and understanding to make judgements about education and to analyse educational problems. In addition, the discipline provides a solid grounding for those interested in working in a wide range of people-related areas like youth work, professional training, community education and counselling. Education is offered as a major within a Bachelor of Arts (BA), although a BA in Education does not qualify you as a teacher, you can progress to a one year graduate level teacher education programme. You can also continue your study of Education at postgraduate level.If your focus is on a bright future for yourself and New Zealand's learners, the study of education is one way to make a difference.
