An education degree through home learning prepares you for a career in education

A home learning course is the perfect solution for people determined to obtain qualifications but who are unable to commit to full-time study. An education degree can be completed in your own time and at a pace which suits your current lifestyle.  This allows you to work towards a career in education without disrupting your employment or childcare arrangements.

Your home learning course is designed to look at the various ways in which education is delivered and how inequalities arise. This module of your education degree looks at how communities are constructed, and indeed what constitutes a community. These are aspects which must be understood before embarking upon a career in education.

Home learning - the grounding for a career in education

You will be encouraged to look at contrasting views of identity as part of your home learning course. You will also examine learning, community and inclusion in this part of your education degree. Case studies of asylum seekers and refugee communities in London will be observed as part of your training for a career in education.

Education degree - what you will study

The specific topics covered by this module of your education degree are diverse.  You will look at theories of inclusion and exclusion and what is meant by these terms as part of your home learning course. An understanding of the social and historical concepts of community is vital for a career in education.
